Liverpool legend Ian Rush believes has tipped winger Ryan Babel to be key in Liverpool’s Premiership title challenge next season.
Babel is eager to get back into Premiership action with a bang after recovering from an ankle injury that ruled him out of Euro 2008.
And Kop idol Rush feels that the 21-year old Dutch starlet could have made a major impact for Holland in the European Championships if the ankle ligament damage had not struck.
The former Wales international is certain that Babel will hit back with a bang next season into action once he recovers from his injury and also stated that Babel would be a big threat to any top-flight defence next season.
"I think Babel will get better and better. It's a shame he's missing the championships because the experience would have done him a world of good,” Rush told Reuters.
"I think we'll be looking for him to get more involved next season and play more games. When he runs at defences he's direct and he's a menace. He's big and strong and we'll see progress from Babel if he's back fully fit.
"He's had a year now in the top league in the world and he knows what it's all about, so hopefully he'll keep getting better."
Babel played in 30 Premiership games during his debut season at Anfield, starting 15 and scoring 5 goals.
