Liverpool hero McAteer urges Klopp to go for Borussia Dortmund star Sancho

Liverpool hero Jason McAteer has urged Jurgen Klopp to go for Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho.

Manchester United and Chelsea are among a host of clubs across Europe keen on Borussia Dortmund winger Sancho, while Liverpool have also been linked with the 19-year-old.

“I doubt Jurgen Klopp feels under any pressure to make any more moves in the transfer window, though if there's one player I'd love to see him bring to Anfield, it's Jadon Sancho," said McAteer in an interview with the Racing Post.

“Sancho looks like a Jurgen Klopp type of player. He's young, immensely talented, looks ideally suited to the system which Klopp plays and would be learning off one of the top coaches in the world."

McAteer added: “Good managers take good players to the next level. Look at Raheem Sterling at Manchester City.

“Klopp has a similar aura and Trent Alexander-Arnold is a classic example of a player who has flourished under the German where he may very well not have done under someone else.

“Sancho at Liverpool would be brilliant for him and the club. He could play anywhere along that front three and looks a genuinely class act."
