Julian Brandt at 26: Arsenal-linked Germany star who Jurgen Klopp preferred to Mo Salah

As Julian Brandt continues to be linked with a move to Arsenal, it is hard not to cast your mind back to the moment when he nearly became a Liverpool player.

German international Brandt is among the players tipped to leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season. Marco Rose's side are a distant second in the Bundesliga, and were knocked out of the Europa League by Rangers after finishing third in their Champions League group.

Arsenal were reportedly interested in the 26-year-old back in January. However, if Jurgen Klopp had got his way back in 2017, Brandt might have become a Liverpool recruit... and Mohamed Salah might have stayed at Roma.
