Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has asked the club to sign Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount for £70 million instead of Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister.
Liverpool are in search of a top class midfielder with both Mac Allister and Mount on the top of their list.
The Reds are said to be close to signing the Brighton man for around £70 million.
Jurgen Klopp on the other hand, has lost momentum in his chase of the Blues’ youth product.
Speaking to Betfred, Johnson said,”Alexis is certainly good but if you have to spend £70 million, then I’d rather that money was spent on Mason Mount.
“Mason would suit the team better, he would get into the starting XI and I don’t believe that Alexis can instantly command a starting berth there.”
