Steve McManaman believes his former club Liverpool should steer clear of Eddie Nketiah....CONTINUE READING
The Arsenal striker is out of contract in the summer and surprisingly has been linked with a move to quadruple-chasing Liverpool.
But however unlikely the rumours appear to be, McManaman has commented on them.
The former England international, who made 364 appearances for the Reds, scoring 66 goals and creating a further 85, told told Horseracing : “I don’t think he’s good enough for Liverpool, to be honest.
“I like Eddie Nketiah, but he’s not going to dismantle any of that Liverpool front five and the club has an academy full of centre forwards, so I can’t see this move happening.
“Mikel Arteta has selected him a lot recently, but it wasn’t too long ago that he didn’t seem interested in him. He just has to work hard and keep improving.
“[Alexandre] Lacazette may leave on a free transfer this summer, so there could be space for him to continue with Arsenal. But he needs to see whether his manager is planning on bringing in two or three forwards.
“If he’s happy there, though and he’s playing there, then he should stay at Arsenal.”
Liverpool will boost their attacking options this summer with the arrival of Fulham’s Fabio Carvalho.
