Emile Heskey Claims Liverpool Will Have the Edge Over Manchester City in Summer Transfer Window

Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey has backed his old side to be the Premier League's most attractive club in the summer transfer window, even ahead of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

Both north-west clubs are at the centre of the title race this season, with City currently one point in front with just six games remaining this season.

But Heskey isn't convinced that a Premier League title will alter their attractiveness for players at the end of the season, insisting Liverpool's 'heritage' is more important for new signings than Manchester City's bank balance.

"Liverpool will look to build their squad in summer to ensure they have strength-in-depth next season, similar to what Man City currently have," Heskey told Bet O'Clock.
