John Barnes believes Ismaila Sarr would be a 'fantastic' long-term addition to Liverpool but has implored his old side to make a centre back their January priority.
The Reds are still top of the Premier League table but have enjoyed far less success than last season, perhaps in part due to the long-term injury suffered by star centre back Virgil van Dijk.
While a centre back is being looked at, the champions have also been linked with Watford attacker Ismaila Sarr... and despite acknowledging that he would be a great signing, Barnes also believes attentions should be focused elsewhere.
