Former Premier League striker Dieumerci Mbokani has spoken of his regret of turning down a move to Liverpool eight years ago.
The Congolese striker is now in Belgium with Royal Antwerp, after joining on a free transfer from Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev this summer. However when he was at fellow Belgian club Standard Liège in 2010, he had the opportunity to sign for the Reds.
Speaking to Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad, Mbokani said: “When I played at Standard [Liège], I had the choice between Monaco and Liverpool, but that turned out badly.
“If I had gone to Liverpool I might have had a career as [Samuel] Eto’o or [Didier] Drogba.
