Liverpool are currently preparing for the exit of Jurgen Klopp with the German tactician set to leave after the current football season.
Jurgen Klopp was able to prove himself at Liverpool bringing the best out of players like Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Virgil van Dijk and a host of others.
One player who could have played under Jurgen Klopp is Tottenham Hotspur forward, Son Heung-min. However, the move was not completed in time.
Klopp failed to sign Son for Dortmund in 2013, with the player opting to join Leverkusen from Hamburg instead in a €10m deal.
As a result, Klopp wishes he had signed Son earlier in his career?
“One of the biggest mistakes in my life is not signing Son Heung-min,” he rued to Korean outlet KBS News in November 2021. “Outstanding player. He is fantastic, a sign of Korean football and one of the best strikers in the world.”
Son also spoke on why he rejected Jurgen Klopp and opted to join Bayern Leverkusen.
“I wanted to stay in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen and Dortmund wanted me,” Son later recalled when explaining his decision to snub Klopp. “Both teams play in the Champions League but I thought Dortmund would use rotation more than Leverkusen.
“That’s why I chose Leverkusen over Dortmund. It’s really important to play regularly at my age.”
Liverpool will have several reasons to be wary of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday with Son currently leading the London club after the exit of Harry Kane.
