Top 5 Foreign players to play for Liverpool in the Premier League

#3 Xabi Alonso

One of the first players signed by Rafa Benitez after he took charge at the club, Alonso proved to be a bargain purchase at £10.7 million. Rated as one of the most technically gifted footballers in the world, Alonso served Liverpool very well for five seasons with his range of passing, vision and ability to read & control the game.

He scored the equalizing goal in Liverpool’s comeback in the 2005 Champions League Final and also featured in the victorious FA Cup campaign in the following season. Despite having left for Real Madrid for £30 million in 2009, the Spaniard remains a firm favourite among the Anfield faithful.
