Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher admits he's a big fan of Everton midfielder James McCarthy.

Carra would love to see the Irishman playing in a Reds shirt.

He told the Irish Examiner: "I love McCarthy, I think he's a brilliant player. If there was one player I could take from Everton to Liverpool, it would be James McCarthy.

"I think he's just got to add goals. Jordan Henderson was maybe at that stage a year ago, where you really like what you see but there could be a few more goals or assists to take him up another level.

"He's a complete midfield player - he works hard, he can tackle, he can pass. I think eventually he'll be the captain there."
