It's very difficult to find a list of Liverpool's very best signings without seeing Luis Suarez's name. Admittedly, the star would go on to join Barcelona, where he became one of the best players in the world, but his skill shone during his time at Anfield.

Suarez spent five seasons at Ajax, scoring 111 goals in just 159 games, and he joined the Reds to repeat a similar feat.

Although he spent just four years at the club, his goalscoring and brilliance in the final third left Liverpool fans in excitement. His final season at the club saw the star score 31 goals in just 33 EPL appearances, and this feat would send Barca hunting for his signature.

In total, Suarez managed 82 goals in 133 games for the Reds, cementing himself as one of the best strikers Anfield has ever seen.

Jordan Henderson has spent so long at the club, you'll be forgiven for thinking he came through the Reds' academy. The England international has become a legendary player for Liverpool, having joined from Sunderland over a decade ago.

Despite managerial changes over the years, Henderson has flourished, become a leader, and has guided Liverpool to their first Premier League title in decades.

Henderson has remained a key member of the Reds' squad under Jurgen Klopp, having garnered over 400 appearances over the years. His presence at Anfield has been crucial to the club's successes, with the star winning six trophies in just over a decade.

Now 31, the youngster that joined Liverpool has become a leader, taking over Steven Gerrard's captaincy and steadfastly guiding the club to greater heights.


#1 Mohamed Salah | Liverpool star

Currently stalled contract negotiations between Liverpool and Mohamed Salah have taken up many of the headlines surrounding the star. However, he arguably remains the best signing Anfield has ever seen in recent history.

Joining Jurgen Klopp's side for a club-record transfer fee, the star immediately set off on a goalscoring spree that stunned the rest of the Premier League.

44 goals in 52 games for the Reds in his debut season gave Salah immediate legendary status at the club, but the next four years would only bring more success.

His goalscoring helped the club win the Premier League in 2020, a year after he guided the club to win the Champions League trophy. A total of five trophies in his five years at the club is a solid return on the Reds' investment, and Salah will never be forgotten at Anfield.
