'His brand of football is attractive to people': Souness tips De Zerbi to be in the mix for Liverpool job this summer

Graeme Souness has lavished praise on Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi and said that he could be in with the shot at the Liverpool job.

“It’s the style of football he’s playing that makes him attractive and I enjoy watching them,” Souness told talkSPORT.

“Graham Potter left them in a very healthy situation. You generally get a football management job because the roof is leaking and there’s problems.

“The Brighton job at that time was a good job to take and I think he’s done well. They’ve hit the wall a bit but does that warrant him getting one of the elite jobs? I’m not so sure.

“You look at Liverpool at the end of the season and you get that job, what a dream job that is.

"Will he be in the frame? Yeah, because of the brand of football he plays, that will be attractive to people. Is [Xabi] Alonso the favourite? I believe he’s talking to Bayern Munich.”

Alonso reportedly is still the favourite for the Liverpool job but Ruben Amorim is another name doing rounds of the rumour mill.
