Redknapp gives rave review for 'mature' Liverpool target Cook

Jamie Redknapp has rained praise down on Liverpool target Lewis Cook.

The Bournemouth midfielder, 21, has started every game in the Premier League this year.

His maturity at such a young age has raised interest from the big clubs in England, and Redknapp believes Cook is "destined" to play at the top level.

"Lewis Cook may have made a mistake for Tottenham's third goal but that should not take away from what was a brilliant performance," he told the Daily Mail.

"Such was his maturity in midfield against Victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembele that it is hard to believe he has just turned 21.

"He has been on my radar since his days at Leeds but he has come on leaps and bounds at Bournemouth.

"In a year or so I am in little doubt he will get a chance to play for one of the big six sides. This boy is destined for the top."
