David James has admitted he would 'love' to see Jamal Musiala at Liverpool after the young midfielder impressed again for Germany on Sunday evening.
Hansi Flick's side left it late to equalise against Spain and avoid another humiliating group stage elimination, although they still sit bottom of Group E with one point from their opening two games. In an otherwise underwhelming tournament for the 2014 champions, 19-year-old Musiala has impressed, and his touch fell - albeit fortunately - to Nicklas Fullkrug who slammed home the vital equaliser.
The teenager's inclusion not just in the Germany squad but in Flick's starting line-up is just rewards for an outstanding few months at Bayern Munich, with the attacking midfielder registering nine goals and seven assists in 14 Bundesliga appearances. Such form has attracted interest from a number of Europe's top clubs, with Liverpool one of several potential suitors.

And former Reds goalkeeper James picked out Musiala as the one World Cup star he would like to see at Anfield - he, of course, also mentioned the long-admired Jude Bellingham.
"I’d love to see Jamal Musiala in a Liverpool shirt," James told Genting Casino. "When you look at the likes of Jude Bellingham, who’s been linked, why not? He’s young.
"Someone like Jamal Musiala, he’s been linked. There’s talent out there and at some point Liverpool will try and get their services. Bellingham has the potential of being the tournament’s outstanding player, and his price tag could soar. But whether they get them soon is questionable."
Any swift pursuit of Musiala seems unlikely, with the teenager contracted at Bayern until 2026 and showing no signs of wanting to move away. Julian Nagelsmann has the young star - who played for England right up until under-21 level - as a crucial cog in his plans, and with Thomas Muller now 33-years-old, he is set to become Bayern's main man.
