Michael Owen suggests Jurgen Klopp is fighting for wrong Liverpool transfer target

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is set to rival Manchester City in the race for England star Kalvin Phillips - but Michael Owen believes that Phillips' Three Lions teammates, Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice, are in a league of their own.
