Liverpool hero Peter Crouch has told his former club to hijack a move for Arsenal target Declan Rice.
After shelving initial plans to pursue Real Madrid-bound Jude Bellingham this summer - due to the financial costs involved - the Reds have kicked-off their ongoing recruitment drive by signing Argentina player Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton. Further midfield additions are now expected to follow.
France starlets Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone have been mooted in that regard, but Crouch reckons Liverpool should push the boat out to bring in 'classy' England international Rice instead. Rice is expected to leave West Ham this summer after guiding them to the Europa Conference League trophy.
