Top 10 Liverpool Signings Under Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp left Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season and will go down as one of their greatest managers of all time, winning an FA Cup, 2x EFL Cups, a Community Shield, a Premier League title, a Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. His time at Liverpool was known for fast-paced, action-packed football and consistently competing with the dominant English club, Manchester City. However, in order for Klopp’s signature style of football to work, he needed the right players. As a result, over his 9-year tenure, the German manager signed 37 players. Not every player he signed was a success; however, the ones that were have since etched their names into Liverpool’s history for years to come. We are going to go over these players and break down the top 10 players signed for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp. 

Jurgen Klopps Tenure at Liverpool

As we have mentioned, Jurgen Klopp was very successful at Liverpool, winning a number of trophies and playing very attractive football. Winning 299 out of his 491 games with the club left the manager with a win percentage of about 60%. As a result, Liverpool was often considered to be the favourites in almost every game they played. For betting and Liverpool fans, this meant the odds for a Liverpool win were usually a lot lower, giving way to the emergence of matched betting. Matched betting allows players to cover both outcomes of a fixture, reducing risk and locking in profits for a single bet.

10 – Alexis Mac Allister

We may be going early on the signing of Alexis Mac Allister as the player was only signed 1 season ago; however, we believe out of the signings made, he deserves this spot the most. Coming from Brighton for 42 million during a complete midfield overhaul, there was a lot of pressure to perform. Despite this, Alexis Mac Allister shone brightly out of all the new midfield signings and continues to do so under Arne Slot. 

9 – Georginio Wijnaldum 

Signed from Newcastle, Wijnaldum helped Liverpool win the Champions League and Premier League over a four-year period. He was a vital component of Liverpool’s midfield during these years, providing an engine and passing range unparalleled to other players. 

8 – Joel Matip

Joel Matip is an interesting player, as his time at Liverpool was inconsistent. While fit, he was one of the best defenders in the league, and he formed a formidable partnership with Virgil Van Dijk. However, his time spent fully fit was brief as his spell was plagued by injury problems. Despite this, Matip goes down as one of Klopps best singings for 2 reasons. First of all, despite his injury problems, Matip was still an incredible player who was vital in the club’s success. Secondly, he arrived on a free transfer, proving to be one of the most astute pieces of business the club has ever done. 

7 – Diogo Jota

Jota is another player who has been held back by injuries, similar to Matip, and like Mac Allister, he does not have the silverware or time at the club to move him substantially higher on this list. However, what Jota does have is an incredible goals-scoring record. Despite often not being the first-choice striker or winger, when Jota is involved, he has made it count. He currently has an output record of 1 in 2 with 81 goal involvements in 155 games. 

6 – Fabinho

Fabinho has a similar story to Wijanldum in that he was signed to join Liverpool’s midfield and, over a four-year period, helped the team claim a Champions League and Premier League. The difference between Fabhino and Wijnaldum is that Fabinho was considered the missing piece from Liverpool’s midfield and helped the club lift the Champions League in his debut season and the Premier League in his following season. 

5 – Andy Robertson

Andy Roberstron is another brilliant piece of business singing from Championship side Hull City for 9 million. Since signing in the 2017/18 season, Robertson has become a staple at left back, playing over 300 games and providing over 60 assists. 

4 – Sadio Mane 

From this point on, the players we mention will undoubtelbly go down as some of the greatest Liverpool players. Sadio Mane was an amazing player during his time at the club, being 1 of the 3 starting attacker players in Liverpool’s famous front 3. A hard-working, dangerous winger, Mane has an incredible output and goal-scoring record at the club, even winning the Golden Boot in the 18/19 season alongside Mohammed Salah. 

3 – Alisson Becker 

Ever since Alisson arrived at Liverpool, he has been unshakable from the starting goalkeeper position, despite many strong attempts from Kelleher. Going down as one of the best modern Premier League goalkeepers, Alisson walks into the top 3 Liverpool signings under Klopp. 

2 – Virgil Van Dijk 

Virgil Van Dijk is not just one of the best Liverpool defenders of all time but is often considered one of the greatest Premier League defenders of all time. The centre-back has been a mainstay in Klopp’s sides since his arrival and has commanded the defence to many trophies. 

1 – Mohammed Salah 

During Salahs time at Liverpool, he has won 3 golden boots, became the third top goalscorer at the club of all time, has been involved in 314 goals in 361 games, is 9th in the all-time Premier League goalscoring charts, 2 away from surpassing Robbie Fowler in 8th and is 11th in the Champions League all-time goalscoring charts 3 away from overtaking Thierry Henry in 9th. Furthermore, he is still playing and contributing for Liverpool under Arne Slot and is nailed on to continue breaking records and scoring goals for the club.
