A former Red believes the Japanese winger would be "a really good signing" for his old club after proving himself in the Champions League this term
Red Bull Salzburg's Takumi Minamino is a "perfect fit for Liverpool", according to Jason McAteer, who has endorsed the forward's potential arrival at Anfield in January.
As reported by Goal, Liverpool are closing in on signing Minamino in the winter window after holding talks with his Austrian employers.
The Reds will activate a £7.25m ($9.6m) release clause in the 24-year-old’s current contract and foresee no issues over agreeing personal terms or completing a medical.
