Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard heaped praise on Inter Milan star Nicolo Barella ahead of their Champions League semi final clash with arch-rivals AC Milan.

The midfielder has been a key player at the San Siro for the past four years, winning the Serie A and Coppa Italia.

He is now being chased by Jurgen Klopp's side, and is expected to set them back around £75 million.

Gerrard said of the 26-year-old: 'He's creative, he can nick important goals. I watched him against England in Naples and he was involved in all parts of the game.
