Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock has urged the Reds to move for West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice.
The England international will leave the Europa Conference League champions this summer, and was the subject of a rejected bid from Arsenal on Thursday. Reports claim the Hammers were ‘unimpressed’ by the initial offer, while they are also said to be anticipating Man City to make a move for the 24-year-old.
Liverpool are in the process of revamping their own midfield this summer, having already signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton with another engine-room signing, if not two, expected this summer.
And ruing the possibility of Man City signing Rice, Warnock admitted that he couldn’t believe that his former side weren’t in for the midfielder.

“If Man City get Rice it’s all over again,” he said on Twitter in reference to this season’s Premier League title-race. “I cannot believe LFC are not being mentioned for him.
“A lot of money but he’s gonna be there for 10 years or more! Knows the league, been a standout in the league for past few seasons and is only improving. Imagine him under Klopp!”
