Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has called on the world to do more regarding the refugee crisis and believes those having to flee their homes "deserve a chance" like the one he was given.
Lovren, 27, was a refugee himself as a child, with war forcing him and his family to leave his homeland of Bosnia for Germany.
"When I watch the news I see the refugees coming from Syria and other countries and my first instinct is always that we should give them a chance," Lovren, who was born to Croatian parents, told Joe.co.uk. "I know that there are concerns about terrorism and I understand that but these are families with kids, we can't just close our eyes.
