Liverpool great John Barnes wants to see a move made for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice.

Barnes believes his old club could prove a shrewd move for Rice as he fits the profile of a Jurgen Klopp midfielder.

He toldBonusCodeBets: "There have been suggestions that Declan Rice is a target for Liverpool and he would be a good fit for them.

"Liverpool like central midfield players who work hard.

"Declan Rice isn't going to come in and score lots of goals, he's not going to be creative, he's not a midfield player like David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne or Ilkay Gundogan, but Liverpool don't need that.

"The kind of players Liverpool need are players like Rice or Yves Bissouma, hard-working midfield players who get the ball forward, make tackles, win the ball and keep it quite simple.

"He's similar to Jordan Henderson in that way. So if he wants to come to Liverpool, he has the right profile for them."
