Former Liverpool striker Nicolas Anelka has urged their star trio to stay where they are.

Anelka has warned Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane the grass isn't always greener.

“It's an amazing front three," he told the Liverpool Echo. “I love them all, especially Roberto Firmino because he is the key for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane's success.

“Salah and Mane are ranking in the top five best players in the world right now. They have the quality to play for Real Madrid.

“But today Liverpool can compete with Real Madrid so they don't need to move. Liverpool is very much the place to be."

He added: “Jurgen Klopp is a genius. I love his work, the way he is with his players and the players he has signed. They're top class players.

“They'll be competitive for many years. Klopp has brought the club back to where it deserves."
