Jurgen Klopp thought he was signing a future Sadio Mane replacement in Jeremy Doku five years ago – only for the ex-Liverpool star to scupper the move. And now the Reds boss will have to come…

Doku has revealed Mane helped convince him to remain at Anderlecht in 2018"I was able to discuss with Jurgen, Gerrard too, we looked at some video moments, and he spoke about the development."I talked a lot with Mane, but we didn't really talk about football. We talked about everything.

"He told me that I was young, that I still had time… he wasn't trying to convince me or to say to me 'come here, you will succeed'.""That’s why, at 15, I told myself it had become serious, because I’d seen my career. I know what route I needed to take and I knew at that moment I needed to stay at Anderlecht.Credit: Getty

"As soon as I’m asked if I regret it, I always say no, because if Liverpool came to me at 15, if they like me, they’ll come back later, that’s certain. It’s up to me to be play well." The 16-cap international eventually joined Rennes in 2020 for a club-record fee rising to £25.5m - chipping in with 12 goals in 91 games in all competitions for the French side.Keep up-to-date with all the latest Liverpool fixtures and results and live Premier League standings in our new match centre.
