Stiliyan Petrov has raved about reported Liverpool target Kylian Mbappe on Joe.

The Aston Villa legend believes that Mbappe, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool, could win the Golden Boot at the Euro 2020 finals.

Petrov was impressed by what he saw from Mbappe during France’s 3-0 win against Bulgaria earlier this week.

Well-known journalist Duncan Castles has said on the Transfer Window Podcast that Mbappe’s first-choice club, if he leaves Paris Saint-Germain, would be Liverpool, as covered by HITC Sport.

Journalist Ian McGarry has previously said on the Transfer Window Podcast that the Merseyside club are looking into the possibility of signing Mbappe from PSG, as covered by HITC Sport.

Petrov said about Mbappe on Joe: “Bulgaria played France the other day. I think the boy is on a mission. He could have scored probably six. He is so direct, he is so quick. Any team leave space for this man, he will punish them.”

Statement signing

Mbappe would be a stunning signing for Liverpool.

The France international is one of the best forwards on the planet.

The PSG star would make Liverpool more potent and threatening in attack.

Yes, Mbappe would cost a lot of money, but it would be worth it.

Not only is the France international forward supremely talented, but he is also just 22.

Just think what a player Mbappe will be in three or four years’ time.

If Liverpool want to make a statement of intent, then they should make a bid for Mbappe.

Especially if the striker ends up the top goalscorer at Euro 2020.
