"You think of the success Liverpool have had in the past with powerful, quick, wide men.
"You think of [Mohamed] Salah and Sadio Mane, especially those two.

"That looks like where they're going in the market. But is he worth it? Time will tell. As I said, Liverpool spent big last summer.
"Right now, a year on, we probably would say those players don't look worth it."
