One thing I would really like to know is how we came to sign Solanke. I mean did we scout him, did his agent tout him about.
The move he made makes perfect sense. Out the top 6 we were the one team without a defined striker. Ok Firmino has done well, but lets face it, he is no number 9. Every other side in the top 6 were going to buy or already have their top man.
Would be ballsy if he sees us as that opportunity this season
Spurs need someone to back up Kane so that would have been a pretty good choice as well, if Pochettino had sold him on the idea of game time/chances.
Chelsea on paper would have made sense too given that Costa is leaving, but he was probably tired of never being given a chance there.
Arsenal would have made sense if they sell Giroud, as he'd more than likely get plenty of action in the Europa League and cups as Lacazette's backup. Probably doesn't fancy Wenger's project though compared to Klopp.
City are obviously a no-go. Not even Iheanacho can get a sniff there.
United are so poorly managed and he'll have seen Martial, Rashford, etc struggle under Mourinho. No way he goes there.
At Liverpool he has to contend with Firmino, Origi (10 and 11 goal seasons and still only 22), and Sturridge, though Sturridge is less of a factor if he's thinking medium to long-term.
He was never going to be more than a backup (at best) in any of the top 6 clubs, so it probably mainly came down to where he thought he'd develop most and have the best chance of success in the long-term. He could have chosen to go to a smaller club for more game-time (such as Everton where he would surely have been given plenty of starts), but he clearly believes in Klopp and that he can be Sturridge's long-term replacement. Hopefully he can fulfill that promise.
