6 Players Liverpool Almost Signed

By Matt Ladson of thisisanfield.com

Liverpool FC have made some tremendous signings in their illustrious history - bargains such as Kevin Keegan - who signed from Scunthorpe for just £35k and went on to win the Ballon d’Or, or Sami Hyypia who cost £2.6m from Willem and went on to win every trophy except the Premier League during a 300 + appearance career at Anfield.

There have, of course, also been some major flops - of which there are plenty in the past decade alone; El Hadji Diouf, Bruno Cheyrou and Salif Diao arrived in one disastrous summer alone!

With the January transfer window in full flow and players being linked with clubs, we take a look at some deals that almost happened... but alas they didn’t.

In no particular order...
