Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson hopes Damien Comolli can identify some more 'Gareth Bales' for the club.
The Frenchman, who has previously held senior roles at Arsenal, Tottenham and Saint-Etienne, was announced as the club's new Director of Football Strategy on Wednesday.
"The matter of player recruitment is of vital importance to clubs today," Hodgson told liverpoolfc.tv. "It becomes more important every year. And in Damien Comolli we have a person who has great experience at player recruitment.
"He'll have to look very carefully at the players who are being identified and recruited for the reserve team and Academy as well.
"If it's true that Gareth Bale is a player he spotted and brought through then we'll be happy if he can produce one or two more of them for us!"
