Liverpool have become a dominant European force since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp, with the team consistently competing for both Premier League and Champions League titles.
Liverpool have an illustrious history. However, since the beginning of the Premier League era, the club always endured a topsy-turvy run of form, but there has not been a shortage of world-class players featuring for the team.
Some incredible names have represented Liverpool over the years, and have created their own legacies. Liverpool's recruitment has become much better in recent years as well.
On that note, here's a look at the five best foreign players to play for Liverpool in the Premier League.
Trending
#5 Sadio Mane
Sadio Mane's performances have often been overshadowed by Mohamed Salah's. But Liverpool could not have found success under Jurgen Klopp without the former Red Bull Salzburg man's displays.
Mane joined Liverpool from Southampton for £37 million in 2016 after two good seasons with the Saints. The Senegal international immediately established himself as a key player of the first team, causing trouble to opposition defences with his intelligent runs and sheer pace.
The forward has made 220 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool, scoring 98 goals and providing 44 assists. The 29-year-old has won the Champions League and the Premier League with the club, and was awarded the Premier League Golden Boot for his performances during the 2018-19 season.
#4 Alisson Becker
One of the best goalkeepers in the world, Alisson Becker is a modern-day no.1. Good with his feet and a world-class shot-stopper, Alisson has played a key role in Liverpool's transformation under Jurgen Klopp.
Alisson did not come cheap, costing Liverpool £56.2 million to sign him from Roma in 2018. The 28-year-old has had some issues with injuries during his time at the club, but Alisson has rarely set a foot wrong when he has played. From his good passing to his excellent reflexes, Alisson has often been a key player for the club.
The Brazil international, like Mane, has won the Champions League and the Premier League with the club. Last season, with Liverpool chasing a top-four spot, the goalkeeper scored an injury time winner against West Bromwich Albion to ensure they stayed in contention.

#3 Luis Suarez
One of the best strikers of the modern generation, Liverpool's Luis Suarez enjoyed what many regard as one of the best individual seasons in the history of the Premier League in 2013-14.
Suarez made his name as a prolific goalscorer for Groningen and Ajax before he joined Liverpool in January 2011. The Uruguay international endured a subdued 2011-12 campaign in the Premier League, but blossomed into one of the best strikers in the league in the subsequent seasons.
The 2013-14 season was Suarez's best with Liverpool. In 33 league games, he scored 31 goals, and won the Premier League Player of the Season as well as the Premier League Golden Boot. Liverpool almost won the league title that year, before Suarez left the club that summer to join Barcelona for £73.5 million.
#2 Virgil van Dijk
One of the best centre-backs in the world, Virgil van Dijk has proved to be an inspired signing by Liverpool.
Van Dijk became the most expensive centre-back in the world after Liverpool signed him for £76.1 million in January 2018. The Netherlands international comfortably slotted into Liverpool's backline, and has consistently put in world-class performances for the club.
Van Dijk's impact on Liverpool's defence has been well noted. The 30-year-old is physically gifted and extremely comfortable on the ball, and rarely looks troubled against attackers. He has won the Champions League and the Premier League with Liverpool, and one is left to wonder whether Liverpool could have won those trophies without their talismanic centre-back.
#1 Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah is one of the best players in the world, and has been Liverpool's best attacker since joining the club.
Eyebrows were raised when Liverpool bought Salah from Roma for nearly £38 million in 2017. The Egypt international had not done well at Chelsea, so it was slightly surprising to see Liverpool shell out such money for the winger.
Salah has been world-class at Liverpool. The 29-year-old is a prolific goalscorer who plays on the wings, troubling defenders with his technical ability and pace. The trio of Salah, Mane and Roberto Firmino has been crucial to Liverpool's recent success. Salah has won the Premier League Golden Boot twice.
