Leicester City striker Patson Daka smashed four goals against Spartak Moscow – and Liverpool fans wish they had signed him instead.
The Foxes headed off to Russia for a Europa League game on Wednesday, coming away with a 4-3 victory in a bonkers game.
Leicester were 2-0 down before Daka ran riot in the Russian capital.
Daka, a summer signing from Red Bull Salzburg, scored all four Leicester goals to turn the game on its head.
Aleksandr Sobolev did pull one back for Spartak late on, but this was all about Daka.
Liverpool had a look at Daka deal, fans react
Liverpool were linked with a host of strikers over the summer, and Daka was one of them.
Fabrizio Romano claims Liverpool wanted to sell Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi to then sign Daka.
However, the timings just didn’t work out and Liverpool’s idea collapsed with Leicester swooping in to sign the Zambian.
Liverpool fans are seeing their own attackers find the net with regularity right now, but they would still love Daka.
Fans suggested that seeing Daka shine still pains them, feeling that he just seems like a Liverpool player.
Others called the club’s hierarchy ‘crazy’ for not signing Daka, believing that he is a massive miss as he could be worth huge money in the future.
