I'm not happy Liverpool didn't sign Alexis, says Rodgers

Thegoalmac can reveal that Brendan Rodgers admits he still harbours regrets about his failure to sign Alexis Sanchez in the summer and believes he would have been perfect for his team.


Rodgers identified the Chile World Cup star as the ideal replacement for Barcelona’s record signing Luis Suarez, but the former Udinese forward opted to join Arsenal instead.

Rodgers said: "All I know is he's a world class player. He was identified as someone to come in and he would be perfect for us.

"Brilliant player, outstanding quality, even bigger work rate, so we know he'll be a threat at the weekend."

Alexis has already scored nine Premier League goals this season and will be looking to add to that tally when Arsenal travel to Anfield on Sunday looking to avenge last season’s embarrassing 5-1 defeat.
