'LFC tried to sign me' - €10m striker has 'no regrets' over rejecting Anfield. Big loss?

One-time Liverpool target Moussa Sow has revealed that he rejected a move to Anfield during the January 2012 transfer window.

In an interview this week, Sow - who has scored 17 goals in 34 appearances for Fenherbace - explained:

"Both Arsenal and Liverpool had tried to sign me before I ended up in Fenerbahce, but I don't have any regrets having done so.

"I wanted to play at a team which have a fantastic atmosphere and in a great city like Istanbul.

"My religious view was also effective in my decision to join Fenerbahce. I'm really happy here."


Prior to his move to Turkey, Sow revealed his admiration for Liverpool. He said:

"Liverpool, well, that is a dream club. Anyone would be happy, scoring goals in front of the Kop can be the highlight of a career".

Sow managed 34 goals and 6 assists in 60 games for Lille, which is a very good return. There was definitely a small window of opportunity for Liverpool in January 2012, but given the Senagalese international's religious preference, it seems that a deal could never have been concluded.

Even if Sow wanted to come to Anfield, the deal probably would not have gone through. The Reds desperately needed a striker in January, but Kenny Dalglish decided he's rely on Andy Carroll instead. Six months later, the King paid for that error with his job.

  5. Fair play to him- there are worse reasons to move to a club (and city) than for religion (though I'm not a religious man myself).

  8. I can fully understand any devout muslim preferring to move to Turkey than any other country, especially England, in Europe at the moment.
