Liverpool have been urged by Jamie Carragher to sign Everton midfielder, James McCarthy.
The Reds will be without captain Steven Gerrard next season as he will be joining LA Galaxy in the MLS and Carragher believes McCarthy would be a superb signing for the club as he brings an enforcing figure in the heart of the midfield.
Brendan Rodgers has been linked with several midfield figures ahead of the Summer window, but the club legend believes they should look closer to home and try and sign a rival.
‘I love McCarthy, I think he’s a brilliant player,’ Carragher told the Irish Examiner.
‘If there was one player I could take from Everton to Liverpool, it would be James McCarthy. I think he’s just got to add goals. Jordan Henderson was maybe at that stage a year ago, where you really like what you see but there could be a few more goals or assists to take him up another level.
‘Even though James McCarthy plays a more defensive role, he’s shown he can get forward. He’s a complete midfield player — he works hard, he can tackle, he can pass. I think eventually he’ll be the captain there.’
