Heskey: Otsemobor as good as Liverpool pair Robertson, Alexander-Arnold

Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey believes Jon Otsemobor was as talented as the team's current fullbacks.

Heskey played with Otsemobor at Anfield.

He recalled: “I think he went to Norwich but when I arrived at LiverpoolJon Otsemobor was a right-back and he was flying. I don't know what happened. He just tailed off.

"But he was good and had so much energy which you really needed for that position in those days because when you over-lapped a winger he wasn't getting back for you – it was every man for himself back then.

"He was very good but never quite fulfilled it. You look at Trent (Alexander-Arnold) and (Andrew) Robertson and he was just as good as them."
