Liverpool: Liverpool boss Arne Slot lauded Xabi Alonso's record at Bayer Leverkusen ahead of the Spaniard's return to Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday with the German champions.
Alonso, who scored as Liverpool won the 2005 Champions League final, was reportedly the Reds' top target to replace Jurgen Klopp as manager at the end of last season.
The 42-year-old instead opted to remain in Germany, having led Leverkusen to their first ever Bundesliga title and the German Cup without losing a game, as well as reaching the Europa League final.
Slot was handed the daunting task of succeeding Klopp, but has made a remarkable start with 13 wins and one draw from his opening 15 games in all competitions.
Liverpool sit top of the Premier League, have reached the League Cup quarter-finals and are off to a perfect start in the Champions League thanks to victories over AC Milan, Bologna and RB Leipzig.
