Gary Neville believes Caicedo could help the club challenge Manchester City.
Gary Neville believes Liverpool should have targeted Brighton’s Moises Caicedo this summer. The Reds missed a trick to pull out of the race and he believes Caicedo could help the club challenge Manchester City.
The Man United legend claimed that, though he’s a good player, Romeo Lavia isn’t yet the real deal. The Monday Night Football presenter spoke to The Overlap (via the Liverpool Echo), “They should be going and getting Caicedo for him and going ‘there you go, that’s dealt with and sorted,”
“They’re trying to pinch someone from Southampton for £40m, he’s a good player, but Jurgen Klopp needs the real deal. If you’re talking about challenging Manchester City, they can’t do it with a player with potential, they need a player that’s real.
“I do think it will come back on the owners. They’re not investing in the team at the levels the other four or five teams are, they’re just not.”
Caicedo helped Brighton to secure its maiden European finish in the league. He was instrumental for the Seagulls last season. Chelsea are now pushing for this man.
There’s a clear appeal to Liverpool spending big on Caicedo, if such a move should appeal to the club’s decision-makers.
