He's 33, so it's hard to imagine top teams queueing to sign him up with no guarantees of being able to keep him fit, but he certainly has the quality to continue making an impact at a high level.

Last summer, Liverpool legend Didi Hamann caused a stir by urging Thiago to move to Manchester City or Arsenal, should he decide to stay in the Premier League.

He believes those teams play a more suitable style for the midfielder.

"I’m sure there are clubs interested in Thiago," Hamann told Lord Ping.

"If he stays in the Premier League, he needs to join one of the top four teams who have a lot of possession, like Man City or Arsenal.

"The more possession you have, the better Thiago plays.

The physicality of the Premier League has gotten to him."

Hamann also confessed to never having been a 'big fan' of Thiago, pointing to his checkered injury record in a verdict that has proved sadly prescient.

Although he was correct to highlight the growing injury concerns, he was wrong to question Thiago's value out of possession — when the midfielder has been fit, we've seen him slot into the Liverpool approach seamlessly, on and off the ball.

There's little doubt that if he could stay fit, the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal would be interested, despite his age.

Pep Guardiola once declared 'Thiago or nothing' when he took over at Bayern Munich.

However, with all of his injury woes, it's hard to imagine any Premier League teams taking the punt now, never mind Liverpool's title rivals.
