Former Liverpool and Newcastle star Jose Enrique has urged the Reds to sell Thiago Alcantara.

The Spanish midfielder did not enjoy the best of seasons at the Anfield club, while he also lost his place in the Spain squad.

With manager Jurgen Klopp set to revamp his midfield, Enrqiue believes that Alcantara should be sold to make room for new arrivals.

“I love him as a player," he told his Instagram followers.

“But I believe if an offer comes in for him, we (Liverpool) should take it.

"He is a top player but, most of the time, he is injured. We need more reliable players."
