Liverpool flop to Spain sensation - could Iago Aspas swap Celta for top European club?

COMMENT

Iago Aspas finally made a mark in England. After an unsuccessful spell at Liverpool where he arrived amid high hopes but never settled, the Spanish striker has been rebuilding his reputation in his homeland ever since. And his goal at Wembley last week showed the Reds just what he can do.

Aspas, now back at Celta Vigo after a loan spell at Sevilla in 2014-15, was called into the Spain squad by Julen Lopetegui as a replacement for the injured Diego Costa. And with La Roja two goals down to England in last Wednesday's prestige friendly fixture, he came off the bench to score with a superb strike that went in off the post.
