Liverpool legend John Barnes believes Ousmane Dembele would be perfect for Jurgen Klopp's side.

The Barcelona winger is out of contract at the end of this season.

"Dembele would be a fantastic signing as long as his fitness holds up. I don't know the state of his fitness, but his profile would suit Liverpool to a T: he's fast, he's direct, he's skillful and aggressive with the ball," he told BonusCodeBets.co.uk.

"That's what Liverpoo's front three are. He'd be a perfect replacement in the short term for Mane and Salah. And both of them are coming up to 30 - Dembele's still young, so even long term he could be a good replacement.

"That wouldn't just be a stopgap signing. I look at him in the same vein as Diogo Jota, who can come in and play instead of Firmino or Mane if they're injured or not playing well. Just from his quality, Dembele would be a great signing."
