Jamie Carragher has praised new Liverpool signing Xherdan Shaqiri, describing him as a ‘steal’ for the price he cost.
The Switzerland international swapped Stoke City for the Reds in the summer after the Potters were relegated from the Premier League last season.
Many pundits have tipped Jurgen Klopp’s men to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title, and they have made a fine start with six wins from six.
At times Shaqiri’s attitude has been questioned at previous clubs, but Anfield hero Carragher is impressed with the start the 26-year-old has made.
“There’s no doubt there is quality in that left foot, been real evidence of that, certainly a few days ago that free-kick he took, come in score the goal,” Carragher said during Sky’s live coverage of Liverpool v Chelsea in the League Cup.
“But we’ve seen also tonight that he doesn’t have Salah’s blistering pace but for £12million, he’s a steal.”
