Liverpool legend John Aldridge tells Chelsea they 'lack integrity' and have 'bought their way to where they are' in a rant about £115m Moises Caicedo deal

Liverpool legend John Aldridge has slammed Chelsea in a rant over the Blues beating his former side to the signing of Moises Caicedo.

Jurgen Klopp's side had agreed a £111m deal to sign the 21-year-old from Brighton, only for the Ecuador international to snub the Reds in favour of a move to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea confirmed a British record £115m deal for Caicedo on Monday, in a massive blow for Liverpool who are desperately seeking a defensive midfielder before the end of the summer window.

Aldridge, who scored 63 goals in 104 appearances for the Reds in the late 1980s, has slammed Chelsea, insisting Liverpool are 'far bigger' and that the Blues 'bought' their way to success.
