Liverpool’s ‘missed’ transfer targets analysed as Jurgen Klopp built his fortress at Anfield

Alex Teixeira, Nabil Fekir, Mario Gotze. What could’ve been.

They’re just three of the high profile transfer pursuits Liverpool have been involved in since Jurgen Klopp’s arrival at Anfield, but how could things have look if they had been signed.

Instead the likes of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Georgino Wijnaldum have all arrived under Klopp’s stewardship as well as the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Alisson Becker.

In the latest episode of Analysing Anfield, from the Blood Red channel, we look into how things could’ve looked at Anfield had a number of the Reds reported targets from the past been secured.

As well as Teixeira, Fekir and Gotze, the likes of Ben Chilwell, Julian Brandt, Piotr Zielinski, Mahmoud Dahoud and Jorginho were also reported to have been on Klopp’s radar.

Josh Williams and David Hughes delve into the data to explore quite why those players were linked with Liverpool in the first place before getting into whether or not they would have improved what Liverpool now have.

Hit, miss or even bullet dodged, check out what the guys make of those players once linked with a move to Anfield.
