In June 2017, club legend and multiple Golden Boot winner Mohamed Salah joined Liverpool from Roma for a then club-record fee of £39 million.
Two months later, the Anfield chiefs emptied their pockets again on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, handing over £35 million to Arsenal for his signature.
Since his arrival, the England international has averaged nine starts per season for Liverpool, confined either to the bench or the treatment table more often than not.
An anterior cruciate ligament injury at the end of his first Reds campaign kept the 28-year-old on the sidelines for almost the entirety of the 2018-19 season, and he has struggled to be a part of Jurgen Klopp's regular first team plans ever since.
