#5 Adam Lallana (£25 million), Rating – 7/10
Trending
Adam Lallana is a success story not only for the club but also for the player. When the Englishman moved from Southampton to Merseyside in 2014 for £25 million, there were a lot of doubts over his end-product and lack of pace despite playing out wide. While his dribbling skills and turns enthralled everyone, he struggled to nail down a starting spot.
Klopp’s arrival spelt good news for Lallana as the German shifted him to a central midfield role at the start of this season and the 29-year old finally unlocked his potential. This shift made better use of his work-rate and allowed him to dictate play better. He scored eight goals and had himself seven assists over the season as he became one of the first names on the team-sheet every gameday.
The former Saint is one of the senior members of the squad and has finally made a name for himself at Anfield. Despite nearing 30, his performances have justified his price tag and there is more to come from him.
