Dietmar Hamann has urged Liverpool to sign Newcastle midfielder Joelinton before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday.
Jurgen Klopp has admitted the Reds need to sign a new central midfielder but will only strike in the market if the right player becomes available. Hamann, who won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005, believes Joelinton is the man for the job.
The uncapped Brazilian has prospered at St James' Park after since becoming a box-to-box midfielder under Eddie Howe. He was deployed as a forward under previous manager Steve Bruce, scoring just two goals in his first 38 Premier League games for Newcastle.
