Liverpool hero Didi Hamann is urging Brendan Rodgers to raid Everton for James McCarthy. Hamann believes McCarthy would be the ideal replacement for Steven Gerrard.
"I've always been a big fan of McCarthy's. I think he's done ever so well this season," Hamann told the Irish Independent.
"Whether he's a player Liverpool are interested in him remains to be seen, but in the centre midfield areas - Joe Allen, Jordan Henderson, there's a few players there.
"Somebody has to step up and perform at the highest every single week because obviously that's what will be missing with Steven Gerrard gone."
