Liverpool dodged a bullet in Draxler and should get Griezmann to add X-factor, says Dunphy

Liverpool "dodged a bullet" by missing out on Julian Draxler but should do all they can to sign Antoine Griezmann, according to former Republic of Ireland international Eamon Dunphy.

The Reds were among those linked with Draxler prior to the completion of his switch from Wolfsburg to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Germany international is a player held in high regard, but has struggled to produce his best of late and Dunphy feels he would have been the wrong fit at Anfield.

Instead, he believes Jurgen Klopp should be urging his board to make a move for Atletico Madrid forward Griezmann.
