Joe Allen
Playing 91 times at Liverpool over four years at the club, Joe Allen was a very reliable player, favoured by Brendan Rodgers. However, Allen found himself sparse of first-team opportunities by 2016 and made the move to Stoke on a five-year contract for a reported £13 million transfer fee, where he became a key player for the former Premier League outfit.
In his time at Stoke, he has played 78 games in the Premier League and EFL Championship, scoring 7 goals. Following relegation, Allen said he would be willing to stay with the club. Allen signed a new four-year contract with the Potters in June 2018.
He was also a key player in the Wales squad that made it to the Euro 2016 Championships semi-final.
