“He breaks the line with his runs, he’s very direct and when he gets in he’s got pure quality.
“He is electric, Liverpool missed him badly last January.
“I think Liverpool were really close to the top of the league, he had to go to the Africa Cup of Nations and I don’t think they won all the way through January so he was sorely missed.”
