Robbie Fowler: 'Cesc Fabregas would be ideal for Liverpool'

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has claimed that Cesc Fabregas would be a great signing for the club this summer.

The Reds have reportedly emerged as favourites to sign the 27-year-old from Barcelona for a £30m fee.

Fowler believes that the Spain international would strengthen Liverpool's squad ahead of their Champions League campaign next season.

"Fabregas is a player I've always liked," he told talkSPORT. "When those kind of players become available you always want to sign them.

"Fabregas is a world recognised player and he would suit the Liverpool system."

Fabregas joined Barcelona from Arsenal in 2011.
