Michael Owen: 'Paul Pogba is ideal replacement for Steven Gerrard'

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen believes that Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba would be an "ideal replacement" for Steven Gerrard.

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen believes that Paul Pogba would be an "ideal replacement" for Steven Gerrard.

Gerrard's future at Anfield has been called into question, with the 34-year-old yet to sign a new deal.

Juventus midfielder Pogba has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs, but Owen says that the Reds should look to capture the 21-year-old's signature when Gerrard eventually moves on.

"Steven Gerrard's not going to go on forever so the ideal replacement there would probably be someone like Paul Pogba at Juventus," Owen told BT Sport.

"He's an exceptional talent, a young talent that can play in that drive an central midfield role."

France international Pogba joined Juve from Manchester United in 2012.
