Liverpool hero Grobbelaar: No automatic selection for Mbappe in Klopp's team

Liverpool legend Bruce Grobbelaar says Kylian Mbappe would have to fight for a place in Jurgen Klopp's side.

The Reds have been linked the PSG star, who has publicly admitted his admiration for Klopp and his title winning team.

And Grobbelaar thinks it would be a battle for Mbappe to win playing time off Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firimino.

"Well, if he comes to Anfield he's going to have to prove his worth up front for sure. And that's only if and when he comes," Grobbelaar told Stats Perform News.

"We do not know what the circumstances is. It will be up to Klopp and FSG who will reveal something probably in the new season.

"But whoever comes to Anfield, as you see with [Takumi] Minamino, he's going to have to improve a hell of a lot more to get into the side."
