Liverpool legend John Barnes has named the midfielder who would have been a “great signing” for the club.
The Reds continue to be linked with a host of potential new midfielders as the transfer window nears its conclusion. Injuries to key players such as Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita, among others, have led to speculation that a new signing is needed.
One player who will not be available this summer is Yves Bissouma. Tottenham Hotspur signed the midfielder earlier this summer from Brighton for £35million, while Liverpool were themselves tentatively linked for his services.
