Liverpool hero John Barnes believes his former club should do all they can to complete the signing of Jurrien Timber. However, the 21-year-old also has Liverpool connections given he plays alongside Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo for the Netherlands national team. And Barnes would like to see the Reds strike a deal for the rising star this summer, citing the need for a long-term replacement for Van Dijk. “Of course, I know that he played together with Van Dijk in the Dutch national team and according to the latest rumours Van Dijk has told him that he has to go to Anfield,” Barnes told Soccer News. So in the long term, it’s not just about ‘coming to the Reds to form a duo with Van Dijk.'
