Liverpool should sign Godin, not Vida, says ex-Red Nicol

The Besiktas centre-back impressed alongside Dejan Lovren in Russia, but a former Anfield favourite feels a swoop would be the wrong move

Liverpool should avoid making a move Croatia's Domagoj Vida and go after Atletico Madrid's Diego Godin instead, is the opinion of former full-back Steve Nicol.

Centre-back Vida, who partnered Dejan Lovren all the way to the World Cup final, has been linked with a move to Anfield since the 29-year-old's impressive displays in Russia.

Also linked with Everton and West Ham, the Besiktas defender would represent a relatively cheap option, potentially around the £20 million ($26m) mark, should Jurgen Klopp choose to swoop.
