3 Liverpool rejects who are playing well this season

#1 Suso

Suso has emerged as the key man for AC Milan this season

Suso, the in-form AC Milan winger, was one of the hottest prospects at the Kop academy, having signed his first professional contract with Liverpool as a 17-year old.

You know a player has been excellent when Real Madrid express 'their desire' in signing him. Once a forgotten talent, the AC Milan star is now being linked with some of the biggest clubs in Europe (h/t Calciomercato).

The Spaniard had failed to score a goal for Liverpool in the Premier League. To be fair, he never got to showcase his real potential at Anfield with his appearances limited by players like Coutinho, Sturridge and Sterling all ahead of him in the pecking order.

In 2013, he was loaned to Spanish side UD Almeria, where he showed glimpses of brilliance, assisting 9 goals and scoring 3 in 33 league matches.

What followed this loan spell was a permanent move to AC Milan, where he struggled for the first couple of seasons, but had established himself as a key player under Vincenzo Montella last season.

Still only 24, the winger has been a revelation this season in Serie A, scoring 4 goals in 12 appearances and amassing 8 assists on the go for I Rossoneri.

His performances earned him a well-deserved call-up for the Nations League fixtures from Luis Enrique, thus his best season keeps on getting better and better.
