Reported Liverpool transfer target Marco Asensio starred in Spain's World Cup opener on Wednesday in a position that could intrigue the Reds hierarchy.
Asensio played in the unfamiliar role of number nine for Luis Enrique's side in their match with Costa Rica, as he scored Spain's second of the game with a cool finish - La Roja went on to win 7-0. It is a position that Roberto Firmino, who has been linked with a Liverpool exit in recent months, has shone in in recent years.
Asensio, who is out of contract at Madrid in the summer, has been linked with a move to Anfield with Jurgen Klopp potentially looking for cheaper options in attack with rebuild needed in midfield in the coming transfer windows.
