​Liverpool legend Aldridge: Sancho would jump at joining Klopp

Liverpool legend John Aldridge believes that Jadon Sancho would jump at the chance to play for Jurgen Klopp.

The English attacker is being linked with several top Premier League clubs for the summer transfer window.

He is likely to leave Borussia Dortmund, with Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham all linked at one point to the player.

Aldridge believes Liverpool is a logical destination for Sancho.

"Sancho is an interesting option as he is still only 19, pretty experienced and proven in a strong German league and appears to have all the potential to become a genuine world superstar," Aldridge told reporters.

"I'd imagine he'd be excited by the prospect of joining this Liverpool team, and his brand of high-energy football would appear to be perfectly suited to Klopp's game plan. But would the club pay an asking price of up to £150million if they didn't sell one of their big assets to fund the deal?

"Liverpool would be mad to sell a player of (Salah's) quality and take a chance on signing someone who would take time to fit in but, of course, the decision could be taken out of their hands.

"That's when Liverpool start to look at players like Sancho."
