Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann has insisted how he feels Leicester City man Youri Tielemans would be a 'perfect fit' for Jurgen Klopp's side.
Tielemans has been the subject of much transfer talk this summer, turning down the Foxes advances to remain at the club beyond next summer.
His current deal means the 25-year-old would be able to leave the King Power on a free transfer and is also said to be attracting late interest from Newcastle United.

Given Brendan Rodgers looks to be seemingly operating with one tied behind his back this summer, Wesley Fofana and Kasper Schmeichel have made their exits, with Tielemans perhaps the next to seek pastures new.
''I would’ve liked to have seen him at Liverpool,'' began Hamann, as he spoke to Sky Sports News on Thursday.
''I think he’s a brilliant player and if Newcastle were able to get his service they made a brilliant transfer because I think he’s been one of the best centre players for Leicester in the last few seasons.
''I think he will be the missing piece in that midfield in the jigsaw of Newcastle and if they were to sign him I think he would be a brilliant transfer for Newcastle.''
