According to Mirror Football, a former Liverpool forward revealed that after his departure from the club he was widely tipped to become the sport’s next leading figure, with some observers even suggesting he could succeed Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the world’s best player.

During his spell at Liverpool the player enjoyed several seasons of success, featuring in domestic and European campaigns that raised his profile both in England and abroad. The hype surrounding his exit was fueled by his performances and the belief that he could carry that form onto a new stage.
