Former England goalkeeper, David James has wondered why Liverpool failed to sign departing Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic ahead of Manchester City.
The Croatia international is set to move from Stamford Bridge to the Etihad in a deal worth £30million.
But James believes the former Real Madrid midfielder would be more useful to Liverpool, adding that Kovacic does magical things with the ball.
Speaking to King Casino Bonus, James said: “Someone who plays like Mateo Kovacic does, I would’ve thought would be more suited to Liverpool than Manchester City.
“I have been buzzing off this guy for a few years now; the way he picks the ball up and goes through lines with ease, it looks like he’s always at 100mph. There is something magical about the way he plays.
“There is a lot of speed, energy and pace in the way Liverpool have played ever since Jurgen Klopp took over and someone like Kovacic would be ideal for that.
“Pep Guardiola might be thinking of having a tactical re-think again, Kovacic is not the type of player I thought Man City would be going after.
“Then again, neither was Erling Haaland and that worked out alright! I think if a player like Kovacic went for Liverpool, however, I think that would be a great fit.”
