Liverpool great John Barnes admits he'd love to see Watford attacker Ismaila Sarr at Anfield.

Sarr has been linked with Liverpool this season.

When asked if a move for Sadio Mane's Senegal team-mate Sarr should be made, former Watford and Liverpool man Barnes told BonusCodeBets, "Yes, if he wanted to be one of the front three, but, and I've said this before, we need a centre back.

"Although a great player and looking forward he'd be fantastic player to have as part of the team, it's not what we need at this very moment in time.

"If they want to sign him as a long-term investment, then I think that's great. But right now, this very season, we need to strengthen our defence so to find suitable players for this should be the priority."
