There’s a £56m buyback option on him and, for me, it’s a no-brainer. It showed as he didn’t really play him, didn’t really fancy him, but he’s proved Arne wrong.‘He’s gone to Leverkusen and is doing really well.

He’s playing well for England. He’s a Warrington lad.

I hope he’s a Liverpudlian, and if that’s the case, there’s no reason not to go and get him.‘Liverpool has the buyback.
