Jamie Carragher has changed his mind when deciding whether Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland would be a better buy for Liverpool.
The Reds have been linked with both youngsters with PSG ace Mbappe and Borussia Dortmund star Haaland regularly impressing.
Both are clinical in front of goal with Haaland more an out and out striker, while Mbappe possesses the speed to shine anywhere across the frontline.
Carragher has often tipped the World Cup winner for a move to Anfield, though now believes Haaland would be a better buy.
Asked who he would buy if he was Liverpool owner for a day, Carragher said: “I mean I’ve watched the clips today and I’ve always gone with Mbappe before, but there’s something about Haaland.
“He looks mad, but in a good way. You know when you just think, he doesn’t care about anything.
“His celebration in the Champions League with the goalkeeper, I loved it. I’d go for Haaland.”
Liverpool aren’t the only side linked with Haaland with fellow Premier League outfits Manchester United and Manchester City also believed to be keen.
United icon Rio Ferdinand said: “You know what, they’ve just got to go and give everything to get Haaland, I don’t care.
“I don’t like to talk about players coming from other teams but this guy man, we can’t afford to let this guy go anywhere else.
“His only destination is England, that’s the only place he’s going. If he goes anywhere else I’d be so surprised.
“Born here, born and bred. He obviously loves English football, his dad played here. I’m sure it’s one of his dreams to come and play in England.”
