Alan Shearer makes Takumi Minamino prediction as Liverpool get first glance at forward

Former footballer Alan Shearer thinks that Takumi Minamino will be a perfect fit to this Liverpool side, however, it will be difficult. Minamino debuted in Liverpool's FA Cup 3rd round 1-0 win over Everton, after making his move from Red Bull Salzburg. Speaking to BBC, Shearer told: "He scored [at Anfield against Liverpool], 24 years of age. "When you look at the price that they've paid for him, just over £7m was his release clause, he'll fit perfectly I think into this Liverpool team – It's going to be very difficult to get into it. "In terms of where he plays he can play anywhere along that forward line. He's already got nine goals this season so what an opportunity for him, starting with today." source - Mirror
