“From a Liverpool point of view, they have gone out there to spend money," Fowler told bettingexpert. "They've lost a player, Sadio Mane, which is disappointing. They got money for him, so they've received more money than they've spent five [or] six years ago. Probably good business for the club.

“Let's be honest, it probably is a bit of a gamble. Any player going into any club is a bit of a gamble. It is a gamble I'm more than happy to take.

"I think when Liverpool is signing players, the signs and the infrastructure about these players, I think it is relentless. I think what they do, how they look into the player; how his mindset is, how his family life is, and how his life outside of football is, it is all taken into consideration.

“I am excited to see him play. I watched him a bit last year, I don't claim to know everything about him, I'll be honest about that. But what I did see last year, I think he would be a handful for Premier League defences."
