Jadon Sancho would be the perfect signing for Liverpool this summer, even if he may not be an immediate starter at Anfield, according to former Reds striker Emile Heskey.
Liverpool are joined by the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona in the race to sign young England forward Sancho, who has become one of the hottest prospects around Europe after leaving Man City to try his luck in Germany.
Having just turned 20, Sancho has produced goals and assists in his teenage years that rival and even eclipse the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo - and it's thought it would take a bid in excess of £100m to take him away from Borussia Dortmund.
Liverpool's front three has been there strong point over recent seasons, with Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane powering them miles clear of the rest of the Premier League this season, but Hesey still believes signing Sancho makes sense.
"When you look at Jadon Sancho’s age, he will always be an asset to Liverpool," Heskey told GentingBet.
"In two to three years, you’ve got an ageing Liverpool side – even though in this day and age and with the fitness levels of all the players, age is nothing.
"But having someone young, fresh and dynamic coming in, it will only add to the squad and I think that is where Jurgen is going to be looking at next.
