Former Liverpool defender Phil Thompson reckons the Reds may have made a mistake by bringing Xherdan Shaqiri in this summer, but has also said that the player could turn out to be as good a signing as Sadio Mane.
Thompson, now a pundit for Sky Sports, isn't convinced the Switzerland forward has the qualities Jurgen Klopp wants in a player and has claimed that the Anfield side could have a Mario Balotelli-type player on their hands.
Shaqiri joined the Champions League finalists for £13m this summer after three impressive seasons at Stoke. But, according to the Liverpool legend, he could turn out to be a flop.
