Liverpool don’t need Coutinho back but would take £100m Hazard in a heartbeat – Lawrenson

The ex-Reds defender is not convinced that a former star now on the books at Barcelona should be targeted were he to become available any time soon

Liverpool have no need to try and bring Philippe Coutinho back to the club were he to become available, says Mark Lawrenson, but would take Real Madrid-linked Eden Hazard “in a heartbeat”.

The Reds are expected to add again over the summer regardless of how the rest of their 2018-19 campaign plays out.

A Premier League and Champions League double remains a possibility, although Jurgen Klopp’s side sit a point adrift of Manchester City in the domestic standings and have a semi-final clash with Barcelona to come in Europe.
