Liverpool are an outfit transformed under Jurgen Klopp. The fallen giants of yesteryear have roared back to become a juggernaut of European football, winning the Premier League for the first time in over three decades. The Reds have also added another European Cup to their fabled history.
Jurgen Klopp's time at Liverpool has seen numerous smart signings
Under Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool came ever so close to winning the Premier League. Unfortunately, not only did they miss out on domestic glory, but they also had to let go of their talisman Luis Suarez.
Jurgen Klopp and the FSG ownership have worked long and hard to overhaul the Liverpool squad. The Reds have made astute signings, constantly improving the squad with players who suit the tactical requirements of Klopp's Gegenpressing philosophy.
We rank the 5 best signings of the Jurgen Klopp era at Liverpool.
#5 Andrew Robertson
Scotland captain Robertson was part of a Hull City team that was relegated unceremoniously twice. Liverpool then moved to bring the left-back to Merseyside for what now seems a paltry fee of £8 million. Under Klopp, Robertson has grown into one of the best defenders in the world.
Blessed with stamina and pace, his perpetual motion has defined Jurgen Klopp's style of play. Playing high and wide together with Trent Alexander Arnold, the Liverpool fullback duo have a reputation for being the most dangerous attacking widemen in world football.
#4 Alisson Becker
Lorius Karius' costly errors, combined with Simon Mignolet's erratic form, meant signing a goalkeeper became a priority for Liverpool and Klopp.
Alisson joined from Roma for a high fee of over £56 million, making an instant impact as a calming force in goal. Citing his idols as Victor Valdes and Manuel Neuer, Alisson is among the new breed of sweeper keepers, operating as an 11th outfield player at times.
His ability on the ball and tremendous speed to rush out and make saves have made him a quick fan favorite. The 2020-21 Premier League season saw him add another legendary moment to his highlight reel after scoring a last-minute winner against West Bromwich Albion.
#3 Sadio Mane
Mane was purchased from Southampton as an exciting winger known for his speed on the ball and energy off it, suiting Jurgen Klopp's philosophy of play.
His time on Merseyside has seen Mane become a lethal forward, firing Liverpool to a Champions League title and a Premier League crown while forming a lauded trio with Salah and Firmino.
Mane's defensive tracking is as important as his attacking penchant, as he forms the first line of defense to win the ball back in the opposition half to launch lightning quick counter-attacks.
Although tensions have flared between him and Salah while competing for the top goalscoring honors, their competitive drive has propelled Liverpool to new heights.
With 95 goals and 36 assists in 229 appearances, Mane is already one of Liverpool's most celebrated wingers in club history.
#2 Virgil van Dijk
Virgil van Dijk's acquisition by Liverpool was a statement signing and one that changed the course of the Reds' destiny and recent legacy.
From the moment he pulled on the Liverpool red, the Merseyside outfit went from pretenders to contenders with an assured defensive setup. Southampton received £75 million for their captain at the time, a fee which Liverpool were confident reflected the value of his services.
The giant Dutchman brought composure and technical ability to the heart of defence. An added bonus was his ability to launch a defence splitting pass from deep into a forward runner, as well as intercepting opposition runs.
Virgil van Dijk's performances have earned him high praise as one of the finest Premier League centre-backs, joining the likes of Nemanja Vidic and John Terry.
#1 Mohamed Salah
The Mohammed Salah that Premier league fans first saw was a raw, unrefined winger blessed with lightning quickness and a sharp left foot at Chelsea, where opportunities were few.
His time at Basel, Fiorentina and Roma suggested Salah had all the tools needed to become the perfect inside forward and Jurgen Klopp eventually unlocked his full potential. It's noteworthy Liverpool bought him for £39 million from Fiorentina, an absolute bargain for his output and impact.
A powerful counter-attacking outlet capable of running in behind the line of opposition, Salah has matured into a cultured goalscorer with 95 league goals for Liverpool. He has won the coveted Golden Boot twice and has even broken the record for most goals scored in a domestic season!
A fan favourite who might just be the Premier League's greatest ever African player, he is certain to go down as a Liverpool legend amongst the likes of Ian Rush and Fernando Torres.
