Jurgen Klopp Reveals the One Player He Regrets Not Signing for Liverpool
In a rare moment of reflection, Jurgen Klopp has openly admitted that the one player he regrets not bringing to Liverpool is Tottenham Hotspur’s star forward, Son Heung-min.
Speaking candidly, Klopp said, “The only player I regret not signing for Liverpool is Son Heung-min. He would’ve fit Liverpool so well.”
This statement speaks volumes, considering Klopp’s tenure at Liverpool has seen him assemble one of the most successful and dynamic squads in the club’s modern history. Yet among all the world-class talents he has managed—or missed out on—it’s Son who stands out as the one that got away.
And it’s not hard to see why. Son Heung-min possesses everything Klopp values in a player: blistering pace, tireless work ethic, clinical finishing, and a humble, team-first mentality. His versatility across the front line and ability to press relentlessly would have made him a perfect fit for Klopp’s high-octane system at Anfield.
Imagining Son in Liverpool red, linking up with the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané during the club’s peak Champions League and Premier League campaigns, only adds to the sense of what could have been.
While fans can only imagine how he might have transformed Liverpool’s attack even further, Klopp’s admiration for the South Korean international is a testament to Son’s exceptional quality and character—both on and off the pitch.
