Liverpool legend John Barnes tells Jurgen Klopp the four players central to their future

Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho are pivotal to Liverpool 's future.

That's according to club legend John Barnes, who reckons Jurgen Klopp has already ushered in the next generation of Reds heroes. Barnes, who knows a thing or two about being a success at Anfield after enjoying 10 trophy-laden years on Merseyside until his departure in 1997, has made it clear to Klopp that he has four stars who can take on the mantle.

Nunez is certainly the most-talked about right now, having endured a rocky start to his Liverpool career. Sent off on his home debut after scoring two goals in his first couple of games, the 22-year-old striker still needs to find his feet following his eye-watering £68million transfer from Benfica in June.
