Ranking the top 8 signings made by Liverpool in the last 10 years

#3 Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah

It has just been one season, but what an impact Mohamed Salah has made at Liverpool. It is unbelievable how good he has been since signing from Roma for only £37 million. Salah had previously played in the Premier League for Chelsea, where he struggled to a high degree. A few years on from his failure in England, he returned to prove himself. He ended up doing that, and more. The Egyptian winger has been an absolute revelation for the Reds this season, doing much better than his highest hopes.

Salah would just work non-stop to use his supreme pace to get in promising positions and more often than not, he would see the ball bounce off the back of the net. He linked up perfectly with Firmino and Mane as the trio combined excessively well. They scored a bucketload of goals that would help the Reds immensely throughout the entire season. His pace is just frightening, so frightening that even the lightning-fast Mane was blown away by how fast he was.

The former Roma man scored a record-breaking 32 goals in the Premier League and scored countless important goals in the Champions League. Everything he would touch would turn into goals and there was no wrong he could do. He blistered his former club in the semi-final of the Champions League as he scored an excellent brace and set up two more goals. He was virtually unplayable that night and that was the difference between the two clubs over the tie.

Unfortunately, Salah's golden season ended in ultimate heartbreak. He got injured and had to walk off early on in the Champions League final and that put his World Cup hopes in severe doubt. He managed to make it to Russia where he would score two goals, but it did not matter as Egypt lost all three of their games and were the first team to be eliminated from the competition. Salah will absolutely want to brush all of those tears and bruises off as he is readying himself for another breathtaking year at Anfield.

#2 Philippe Coutinho

Philippe Coutinho

It is baffling how Liverpool managed to secure such a fantastic talent for only £8 million. Philippe Coutinho joined Liverpool as an extremely young attacking midfielder with messy hair. His development under Brendan Rodgers was valuable for his career in so many ways as he instantly broke out as a star. Coutinho had a knack of scoring important goals for Liverpool, the biggest coming in the thrilling 3-2 victory in the "title-decider" against Manchester City. It was evident that he would eventually achieve greatness.

Coutinho has a brilliant eye for goal and often attempts the spectacular, getting it right on more than a few occasions. The Brazilian grew even further under Klopp as he quickly became Liverpool's talisman. He scored brilliant goals at critical stages against Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund in the Reds' run to the Europa League final. Coutinho would continue his rich vein of form into the next season as well. He became more and more influential to Liverpool as he and Sadio Mane were the driving forces behind the team's success.

The period when Coutinho was injured, from December to February, saw Liverpool struggle immensely as a potential title challenge turned into a race for the fourth spot. His return in March sparked the Reds' return to form and he scored seven goals in the final two months of the season, in the absence of Mane. He provides opportunities for himself as well as he does for others, that's what makes him a very dangerous player. He also played a big part in the first half of last season, which would prove to be his final months as a Red.

Coutinho contributed big in the Champions League as he got a hat-trick in the final group game against Spartak Moscow. He scored seven goals in the month of December before moving to Barcelona for £142 million. That is a staggering profit made on one of the finest players in world football, who was made into a beast at Anfield. Coutinho lit up the World Cup as he was Brazil's main attacking threat over Neymar. A player so good is very difficult to replace as Liverpool are looking for a way around the situation in preparation for the upcoming season.
