Iago Aspas makes Steven Gerrard dressing room claim and explains Luis Suarez problem at Liverpool

Iago Aspas might remain one of the most prolific strikers in Spain, but in England he will always be regarded as something of a flop following a disappointing season with Liverpool. Signing in a £7m deal from Celta Vigo, the striker is still best-remembered for an awful short corner in a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea, which played its part in costing them the Premier League title in 2013/14.

Scoring just once from 15 appearances for the Reds, he would return to La Liga after just one season. However, he has more then proven his quality over the past eight seasons since returning to his homeland, cementing his place as a Celta Vigo legend.

Boasting 129 goals in 255 appearances since re-joining Celta in 2015, the striker never looked like showing such form on Merseyside. However, with Luis Suarez pushing for a move to Arsenal following their infamous £40m and £1, and also serving a 10-match suspension for biting Branislav Ivanovic, and Daniel Sturridge injured the summer he arrived, it is forgotten he had actually enjoyed a prolific pre-season with the Reds.
