That's right Liverpool fans, you'll be able to get the chance to play with club legend Kenny Dalglish on FIFA 20 Ultimate Team, if you can afford him that is!

There are three versions of his Icon card announced, detailing his strengths at different times in his career.

Here is EA SPORTS' explanation for including him in FUT20:

"Widely regarded as one of Liverpool and Celtic’s greatest players of all time, Kenny Dalglish was part of a Liverpool squad that enjoyed an astonishing level of dominance both domestically and in Europe.
