John Barnes believes Ryan Babel could be a key player for Liverpool next season.
"Ryan is a fantastic player," Barnes told the club's official website.
"What we need to do is find how to get the best out of him because getting the right environment which suits the players is the most important thing.
"He is a great player and if we can find the right blend and formation for him to show us what he can do I believe he can be one of the best players in the Premier League."
