Former Liverpool star Mark Lawrenson, now a columnist for the Liverpool Daily Post believes his former club has done some fantastic business in the transfer window this summer, with the loan signing of Victor Moses standing out in particular.

Lawrenson believes that Chelsea’s decision to not see Liverpool as possible title challengers, and hence deciding to loan out a player of Moses’ quality to them could backfire big time, and tips the 22 year old Nigerian winger for great things in a Liverpool shirt.

Lawrenson said, “The loan move for Victor Moses is a real canny piece of business. I don’t think Liverpool can lose. It’s a good pinch, but perhaps Chelsea don’t see Liverpool as their immediate rivals. Even if Moses only comes on for the final 20 minutes of some games, he has the pace to occupy defenders and go past them, and he can really stretch teams.”

Lawrenson then went on to compare Moses to another player the Reds had recently acquired from Chelsea, and believes that Moses can chart a similar course for his career. He said, “He reminds me a little of Daniel Sturridge in terms of the way his career has gone. It looks as though Sturridge has smelt the coffee since moving to Liverpool, and you wonder if this might be the time for Moses to do likewise.”
