Liverpool hero Carragher: These 2 kids can save club millions

Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher believes Curtis Jones and Neco Williams can save the club millions.

For Carragher, Williams and Jones, who captained the young side that beat Shrewsbury in the FA Cup, are best placed to emerge into the first team group for 2020-21.

"We haven't got great cover at full-back and when you consider Liverpool are the champions of Europe and how good they are, there should probably be another recognised player in those positions," Carragher told the Liverpool Echo.

"But I do think Neco Williams, with the way he has played, you wouldn't think about going into the market to buy anyone and you've got Ki-Jana Hoever there as well. These young kids now and what they have done are going to save a lot of money in the summer.

"Curtis (Jones) has kicked on this year but that's what young players do. When he plays in the younger team, it almost looks like he's a first-team player dropping down to play with the younger players."
