Former Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke has been tipped to win Liverpool Player of the Season by Reds legend Jamie Redknapp.

The England youth international of Nigerian parentage ended his thirteen-year association with Chelsea this summer as he was looking for more first-team opportunities.

''Coming in under the radar is Dominic Solanke. I know Chelsea were gutted to let him go, not much they could do,'' Redknapp said on Sky Sports.

''He can be a real star for them [Liverpool].''

Solanke has impressed the Liverpool faithful in pre-season, scoring against Crystal Palace, Hertha BSC and Athletic Club in friendly matches.
