Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson has advised the club to re-sign club legend Steven Gerrard this summer.
The 36-year-old who plays for LA Galaxy announced that he will be leaving Major League Soccer (MLS) at the expiration of his contract at the end of the season.
Already, there are suggestions that he will rejoin former manager Brendan Rogers at Celtic but Lawrenson, who won five league titles with the Reds believes that he could be a perfect guide for the in-form Jurgen Klopp’s men at Anfield.
"They will not have to pay him fortunes – they can tell him if they need him he'll play," Lawrenson, who insists Gerrard could "definitely play in this Liverpool team", told BBC Sport.
"The most important thing in all this, though, is that he would not be seen as a threat by Jurgen Klopp if he was on the coaching staff.
"He would be brilliant to have around the club because he would be in awe of Klopp, so that is just not a worry. I am sure Klopp would love it too – the only effects would be positive.
"He has already coached Liverpool's under-16 team for a while in 2015 and really enjoyed it.
"If you are an under-16 and getting coached by Stevie G, then how good is that?"
Gerrard made 710 appearances for Liverpool, with whom he won the Champions League in 2005 but di not win the premier league title.
