The former Reds striker, who spent time in the youth system at Molineux, believes a Portuguese midfielder may be tempted to join the ranks at Anfield

Ruben Neves will be among those attracted by a possible move to Liverpool, says Stan Collymore, with the Wolves midfielder a good fit for Jurgen Klopp.

The 22-year-old has been linked with a switch to Anfield in the past.

He has flourished across two seasons in English football, helping Wolves to promotion into the Premier League before cementing them among the elite in the top tier.

Interest may be shown in him this summer , with Liverpool considered to be in need of greater creativity in their midfield .

Former Reds striker Collymore, who spent time at Molineux in his youth, believes Neves would be interested in linking up with the Champions League finalists.

He told Stadium Astro : â€œIf youâ€™re champions of Europe, that in itself is a huge catch.Â

â€œPlayers from around Europe will have seen the atmosphere this year and the type of football.Â Â

â€œOne who will be looking is Ruben Neves.â€

Collymore added: â€œHeâ€™s been on the radar of several clubs, a playmaker.

â€œHe doesnâ€™t score as many goals as he should but scores worldies.

â€œNeves is the kind of guy youâ€™d get on the ball in the final third and he has the vision of David Silva.â€

Another former Liverpool star, Steve McMahon, also believes that Neves boasts the qualities that could serve the Reds well were his services to be sought.

The ex-England international said: â€œHe dictates.

â€œHe can slow the game down, pick it up, see a pass, score a goal.Â

â€œThatâ€™s the type of player heâ€™d [Klopp] be looking at.â€

Liverpool are set to be in the market for reinforcements this summer that can help them to get over a Premier League title line.

The Reds fell agonisingly short in 2018-19, with just one point separating Kloppâ€™s side from eventual champions Manchester City.

Neves would certainly add something to the fold on Merseyside and could be considered a useful option for the present and future, with there still plenty of potential in him to be unlocked.
