Wijnaldum suggests Liverpool should sign £20m winger

Georginio Wijnaldum has implored Liverpool to sign Netherlands winger Quincy Promes in the upcoming January transfer window.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for Promes in recent weeks, with the 24-year-old expected to cost around £20million.

Wijnaldum is friendly with his fellow Dutchman, and believes the Spartak Moscow winger could be the key to a title push.

The Liverpool midfielder admits he would like to see his compatriot join him on Merseyside but stressed that was a decision for Klopp.

“I think he knows how great Liverpool is – I knew it before I came here,” he said.

“I don’t know if everything is true about what they say as I don’t speak with him about that but of course I want him to come to Liverpool because I know he is a good player and also a good person who can help the team.

“But it is something for the manager and the scouts, not for me.”
