Javier Mascherano has urged his former team-mate Carlos
Tevez to join him at Liverpool.
Tevez looks certain to leave West Ham before the season starts and
has been strongly linked with a move to Internazionale this
summer.
The duo, who are currently playing in the Copa America tournament,
signed for West Ham at the start of last season and it was Tevez'
goal against Manchester United that kept the Hammers in the Premier
League for the coming season.
Liverpool midfielder Mascherano believes the best move for his
former team-mate would be to remain in England and make the move to
Anfield.
Mascherano told the Daily Star: "It would be nice to play with
Carlos again.
"Right now we are together in the Copa America and it's
great.
"We'll see what is going to happen before the start of next
season."
Mascherano went on to praise Tevez, and although he feels he would
be a strong addition to the squad, admits the decision lies with
boss Rafa Benitez.
He added: "Carlos is a great player and he could be very useful to
Liverpool in my opinion.
"But the truth is that I would never dare to ask Rafa Benitez or
any other coach to bring a player to a club.
"If he asked me, I would tell him my opinion, but that's the only
context in which I would tell him what I think.
