He’s a fantastic player, but to have that versatility in your squad is invaluable. ‘He could fill in at left-back, play centre-half in a back three, or be a right wing-back or a midfielder.



I think he would genuinely suit any club, especially one going through a few changes or dealing with injuries. ‘Players like him are hard to find because I don’t think he would go to a club expecting to play 50 games at right-back, for example.

I think he would suit Liverpool, probably more so than Arsenal. ‘And I think Manchester United would probably want him as well.
