Arsenal academy chief Per Mertesacker can see Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara being a big hit in England.

Thiago is being linked with a summer move to Liverpool.

Mertesacker told Goal: "I can already imagine the transfer, but the midfield axis of Liverpool is set up.

"Getting in there is very ambitious, but he's a top footballer who can play anywhere.

"He wouldn't have any problems with the style of play in England either because he's a footballer who has been coached well.

"He has to adapt and sometimes do a 40-metre sprint to hit a central defender, but he can.

"He has to decide for himself, as it may well be that he won't play a major role in the first games in Liverpool.

"There are still a few players ahead of him because of their achievements over the past two years."
