Former Liverpool midfielder Vladimir Smicer would like to see his former club bolster their midfield options by signing Aurelien Tchouameni this summer.
The Monaco midfielder was linked with a move to the Reds by several outlets but has been tipped to join Champions League Final opponents Real Madrid, who are still reeling from missing out on Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe. But after the French striker rejected a move to the Bernabeu, ex-Red Smicer, who won the Champions League under Rafa Benitez in 2005, thinks Tchouameni should be Klopp's man, providing the club can hold onto its key forwards.
Speaking to BoyleSports UCL, he said: “If I’m Jurgen Klopp I’d be happy if everyone stays up front. I’d go for a midfield player as that’s the area where we can be a little bit stronger. Milner might not play again and in the middle of the park, we need to be stronger. With (Ibrahima) Konate and (Joe) Gomez, we have great choices at the back as well.
