Adam Lallana was also bought from Southampton. Liverpool paid 25 million GBP for the attacking winger. Lallana had a standout season for Southampton in 2013-2014 and was a highly anticipated signee. While on the pitch he has shown flashes of brilliance for the Reds.
Lallana has had issues with fitness in the new campaign. Before the season started Lallana injured his knee and was unable to play in the season opener. He has also been dealing with a nagging rib injury after breaking them against Leicester City on December 2nd.
The only thing holding him back from a higher grade has been his missed time. Since returning from his rib injury, Lallana has shown why he was so highly sought after in the offseason. He has been in great form recently and should continue to get more starts.
