‘Nabil Fekir is luxury Liverpool do not need’

Liverpool legend John Barnes spoke for The Sport Review about the upcoming season for the European champions, claiming that signing Nabil Fekir could be good for the Reds, but that they should not go for him at all costs.

“Yes, he’d be a good addition to the squad, but it’s going to be difficult to get into the front three”, Barnes said and continued. “If you look at the way Xherdan Shaqiri played, he could feature as one of the midfield three as well. It’s always good to have quality to help the squad. But it’s pure speculation until it happens.”

“I don’t necessarily feel that Liverpool are desperate to sign anybody because of the squad they have and with two new players coming back in terms of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joe Gomez, who didn’t feature last year. We’ve still got Adam Lallana. It could be good for the squad but I don’t think we’re desperate to sign anybody.”
