10 Liverpool flops who found success elsewhere

Aspas and Alberto have a combined total of 1 goal and 2 assists for Liverpool

#1. Iago Aspas - Celta Vigo

Aspas is in contention to start for Spain at the World Cup

Aspas only played one season for Liverpool, back in 2013/14, and he spent almost the entire season as a back up to Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. He only scored one goal for the club before he was first sent on loan to Sevilla and later sold to the same team a year later.

Aspas won the Europa League while he was at Sevilla, but he was a squad player there too and was immediately sold to Celta Vigo, the club he joined Liverpool from.

His second stint with Celta has been phenomenal! He scored 67 times in 126 games and his exploits won him the Zarra trophy given to the highest scoring Spaniard in the La Liga in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons.

In 2016, he also received his first call-up to the national team and he made his debut as a substitute against England with Spain losing 2-0. He marked the occasion with a brilliant goal to make the score 2-1 and the game finished 2-2.

Now, Aspas has played 10 games for Spain and scored 5 goals. He is not only a part of Spain’s squad for the World Cup, he could be starting for one of the World Cup’s favourites in Russia.

Aspas has come a long way from being a Liverpool flop.
