Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony says Liverpool should've signed Ivan Toney ahead of Darwin Nunez this summer.

MacAnthony, a big Liverpool fan, sold Toney to Brentford two years ago.

The Posh chairman told The Hard Truth podcast: "Let me ask you the next question. Darwin Nunez, £85 million, Ivan Toney. Who is the better number nine?

"Nunez might have a hell of a career, he might do really well for Liverpool, Liverpool like to be direct – let's not joke Liverpool are a direct football team, all of our goals come from full-backs and crosses.

"We are a little direct and it suits us, there's nothing wrong with that. You're telling me an Ivan Toney in Liverpool's team wouldn't score 25 goals with those full-backs delivering. Come off it!"
