Three Bargain Buys Who Have Will Help Liverpool In The Longer Run

Alberto Moreno

22 year old Alberto Moreno was Liverpool’s most satisfying signing of the summer. The long drawn affair between Liverpool and Sevilla finally ended with the Spanish club settling for a fee around £12m for the Spanish international full-back. Since the departure of the explosive John Arne Riise to Roma 5 years ago, the Anfield faithful have been craving for a top-class left back who would provide consistency and solidity down the left side of defence. While Jose Enrique is a fine left back, the Spaniard still left a lot to desired from at the left full-back.

Moreno is a modern, explosive full-back with bags of pace to burn down the left side of the field. Having demonstrated his fine finishing abilities in the game against Tottenham, Alberto Moreno has already established for himself a cult status among the Kop with his passion-filled, tireless performances in a Red shirt. At £12m, Moreno represents a fine deal for a young full-back with enormous potential at a very tender age for a bagain price. Add to all of this the fact that many peg the youngster to look like a cross between Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso, there’s every reason that the youngster who left his hometown in tears for Liverpool will find a new home on Merseyside in no time.
