Former Liverpool right-back, Glen Johnson, has named Chelsea’s left-back, Marc Cucurella as the best in the Premier League.
He warned Liverpool against making any move to sign Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, urging the Reds to instead pursue a deal for Cucurella.
Liverpool are eyeing a new left-back to eventually replace Andy Robertson.
Metro had earlier reported that Kerkez has emerged as Slot’s side’s primary target.
The Reds became interested in the player after he enjoyed an impressive season for Bournemouth.
However, Johnson believes it would be a wrong move and wants the Premier League champions to bring in Cucurella, who’s also having a superb season.
Cucurella, who joined Chelsea from Brighton in the summer of 2022, has played 45 times across competitions the Blues this season, scoring six and assisting four goals.
Johnson told WDW Bingo, “If I were Liverpool, I would be doing everything I could to sign Marc Cucurella, he would be my first choice Robertson replacement.
“I’m not sure if he is available, but he is by far the best left-back in the Premier League, and everyone is available for the right price. He is a livewire.
The Spain International has a contract with Chelsea that would keep at Stamford Bridge till 2028.
Liverpool have already won the Premier League title this season and certainly be in the summer transfer market to improve their squad for the coming season.
