Former Liverpool midfielder Don Hutchison thinks Thiago Alcantara would be a 'steal' for the club.

The midfielder will leave Bayern Munich after winning the Champions League final, with Liverpool linked with his signature.

Bayern are seeking around £30m for the 29-year-old, and Hutchison thinks it is a bargain price.

Speaking to ESPN, Hutchison said: "He plays the game at his own tempo, his own speed, his range of pass is good, he can keep it simple.

"If the full-backs are bombing forward he can stand still, he can pick up that little pocket to protect his centre-halves if they ever need protection, and his long range of passing is ridiculous as well.

"I think for the money that's being talked, in and around £30 million, I think it's an absolute steal."
