Former Liverpool star Glen Johnson has urged the Reds to move for Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka.
The England international is a rumoured target for Liverpool and Manchester City and Johnson, who made 200 appearances for the Merseyside club during his playing days, believes Saka would suit Jurgen Klopp 's side 'perfectly.
He told The Games Cabin : "I’d like to see Bukayo Saka go to Liverpool. He’d suit Liverpool perfectly.

"But he’s playing well for Arsenal, and he clearly enjoys being there. He’s obviously a good lad, and you can see that from the way he interacts with other players.
"He’s still super young so maybe a few more years at Arsenal would work too. As long as he continues to stamp his authority there, then the big teams are still going to want to sign him."
Saka is under contract with the Gunners until 2024 and is a player they are unsurprisingly desperate to keep a hold of. Reports over the last week claimed Arsenal have already offered him an extension in a bid to fend off interest from Premier League rivals. In the same story it's said Arsenal value him at £100 million.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta also issued an update on Saka's contract situation last week and said it's only a 'matter of time' before a deal is agreed.
"We will try," he told football.london when asked about the chances of a deal being agreed this summer. "We both have the same intention. It’s a matter of time."
