Jurgen Klopp should have no problems persuading Kalidou Koulibaly to join Liverpool, club legend John Barnes has claimed.

The Napoli centre-back has come close to leaving the Italian club in recent seasons.

And with Klopp in desperate need for a stopper due to injuries, Barnes thinks there is only one player he should target.

He has told BonusCodeBets: "If Koulibaly comes, he's a player that could play alongside Van Dijk when he returns so it would be easy to talk Koulibaly into joining Liverpool, unlike some other top players because he's a person that if he comes would go straight into the first team and play every match.

"Aside from Koulibaly, I don't think there's anyone out there that Liverpool would look to get in January."
