Yves Bissouma fits the template for an ideal Liverpool midfielder 'perfectly', insists John Barnes... as ex-Reds star claims Brighton star 'should be aiming higher than Newcastle and Aston Villa'

Yves Bissouma would be a better fit at Liverpool rather than Newcastle or Aston Villa, according to John Barnes.

Reports have suggested the Premier League trio have made the Brighton midfielder a summer transfer window target following his impressive form for the side he joined from Lille in 2018.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp was reportedly impressed by the 25-year-old's performance in the Seagulls' surprise 2-2 draw at Anfield in October.
