#4 Xherdan Shaqiri to Liverpool- £13 Million

Xherdan Shaqiri failed to keep Stoke in the Premier League
Shaqiri will most definitely be seen as a backup option to the free-scoring Liverpool front three

After enduring a turbulent campaign which ultimately ended in relegation for Stoke City, Xherdan Shaqiri has got the move which was almost inevitable for a player of his calibre. Liverpool's £9.4 Million acquisition of the Swiss Attacker is a shrewd piece of business, with the Swiss international racking up eight goals and seven assists.

Shaqiri will most definitely be seen as a backup option to the free-scoring Liverpool front three that racked up a spread of 91 goals last season.

However, the season is long and any injury to any of the first-choice front 3 opens the door for the 'Alpine Messi', as he's called, to work his magic.

Only five players created more chances than Shaqiri's total of 65 chances created in the Premier League last season, with Mo Salah the only Liverpool player to come close with 62.

KEY STAT: Xherdan Shaqiri scored 15 goals and assisted 15 times for the Potters in 2017/18
