Aurelien Tchouameni has caught the eye again after thundering France into the lead against England at the World Cup - and had things gone differently, he could have been doing so as a Liverpool player.
The Reds were heavily linked with the signing of Tchouameni in the summer transfer window. The 22-year-old had impressed at Monaco which had led to Jurgen Klopp expressing an interest in bringing the player to Anfield.
In the end, Tchouameni opted instead to move to Real Madrid in a deal worth up to £85million. As a result, Liverpool only completed a loan deal for a new midfielder in the summer, with Arthur Melo arriving on deadline day.
