Liverpool hero John Aldridge wants to see manager Jurgen Klopp move for West Ham captain Declan Rice.

Aldridge can see Rice being a ten-year Liverpool player.

He told the Sunday World: "Liverpool need a player who has Premier League experience and can slot into the team from day one next season and Declan Rice could be that man.

"He has proved himself over the last few years and is ready to step it up at a big club.

"Part of me is reluctant to praise Rice after what he did to Ireland because I had a similar situation as I was born in England and played for Ireland.

"Once you have pulled that green jersey on for the first time, there should be no going back and playing for England so I totally disagree with Rice's decision on that issues.

"He could and should have been England's midfield anchor for a decade, but maybe he can do that job for Liverpool now."
