Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo were two summer transfer targets that Jurgen Klopp cheekily mocked, saying Liverpool was “lucky” to pass on them.

Addressing a throng of over 7,000 people from the field, the German manager made the remarks at a test event for the launch of the club’s recently expanded Anfield Road stand. 

Midfielders Jordan Henderson and Fabinho left Liverpool during the summer transfer window. The Reds went up against Chelsea to capture Lavia and Caicedo, who turned them down before signing with Chelsea for a reported £168 million.
