Everton goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has revealed he once nearly joined Liverpool but his club at the time, Stoke City, ‘wanted too much money’.
Begovic, 35, joined Everton as back-up to Jordan Pickford last summer and played seven times in all competitions across the campaign. The Bosnian stopper has also featured for Portsmouth, Stoke, Chelsea and AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League after joining Pompey as a 16-year-old in 2003.
He has been a reliable option for all of his clubs, making 255 Premier League appearances in total, putting him 24th on the league’s all-time leading appearances holders for goalkeepers. And he has revealed that despite now playing for the Blues, he almost once joined their arch rivals.
