Reds need to go Cherry-picking

RIISE URGES SEMENYO SWOOP

- By PAUL GORST Liverpool FC Correspondent [e-mail]

FORMER Liverpool defender John Arne Riise believes Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo would be the “perfect” signing this January - regardless of Mohamed Salah’s future.

And the 2005 Champions League winner says Florian Wirtz will eventually prove himself as a success at Anfield after an indifferent start to his career on Merseyside.

Cherries winger Semenyo has been linked with a whole host of Premier League giants on the back of his form on the south coast, with a buyout clause worth a reported £65m said to exist in his contract for the upcoming January transfer window.
