EPL: Steve Nicol wants Liverpool signing to be between Rice, Caicedo

Liverpool legend, Steve Nicol has said he would want the Reds to sign West Ham’s Declan Rice over Brighton’s Moises Caicedo this summer.

Both Rice and Caicedo have been linked with a move away from their respective clubs this summer.

However, Nicol believes Rice would be a better fit for Jurgen Klopp’s side than Caicedo.

“I would like him [Declan Rice] in my team [Liverpool]. I actually think he can get better. Going forward, he can score more goals,” Nicol told ESPN (via HITC).

“I think the fact that he has been at West Ham has meant that he has had to be that rock right in the middle of the park that starts things, stops things and gets the ball to the front guys. I still think there is more to his game than we have seen. He’s only 24. I want him in my team.”

“If you have the money, then you sign Declan Rice. If I am picking the team tomorrow, then I am picking Declan Rice before Caicedo,” he added.
