Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min boasts an impressive scoring record against Liverpool and turned down the chance to sign for Jurgen Klopp's side before moving to Spurs
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp missed out on the chance to sign Son Heung-min before the South Korean forward completed a transfer to Tottenham. The German has labelled the decision not to sign Son earlier in his career as the 'biggest mistake of his life'.
Klopp will once again watch on as Son lines up against his team rather than in his own squad, with the German having already admitted that not signing the Spurs star earlier in his career is something he regrets.
“One of the biggest mistakes in my life is not signing Son Heung-min,” Klopp told Korean outlet KBS News last November.
“Outstanding player. He is fantastic, a sign of Korean football and one of the best strikers in the world.”
Despite Son's impressive record against the Reds, he has only ended up on the winning side when the two teams have met on one occassion - back in 2017 as Tottenham ran out 4-1 winners.
Whilst Klopp eventually forged a brilliant attacking trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino at Liverpool - the mind boggles thinking about what the Reds would have gone on to win if Son was playing at Anfield.
Now aged 30, Klopp's chances of signing Son look to have faded as the pair come up against each other once again this afternoon.
