Liverpool Transfers: 11 Essential Signings To Win The League Next Year

7. Mohamed Diame

Current Club: West Ham Had Kenny Dalglish not been sacked back in 2012, Mohamed Diame would probably now be a Liverpool player, as he was apparently on the verge of a move before the change at the top, and it may yet happen. The player, who has enjoyed another solid season in London, has again been quoted as saying he wants to make a move to a top six side this summer, and insists that he is still on Liverpool's wanted list, which was backed up in the press last month. The appeal of a move for the Senegalese is obvious: he is an experienced Premier League player who would offer a lot of options to Liverpool's spine, and his release clause of just £3.5m is surely likely to be reason enough for suitors to come forward in the window. The player has been typically forthcoming in his opinions in the past month or so:

"Two years ago I wanted to join a team with ambitions. Overall, my season has been okay, although I think it is not up to last season. I started badly, but gradually I got my bearings. "Liverpool? I can't tell you if I will be a Liverpool player next season. But I think my name is still on their wanted list. I don't hide it, I'm ambitious and I want to join a top-six side. I am 26 years old and it's time to take that step."

said he was on the verge of a move to Liverpool in 2012 but the dismissal of Kenny Dalglish scuppered the deal. The West Ham attacking midfielder has stated more recently that he wants to play for a bigger side. Having impressed this term with goals and assists to his name at Upton Park, a move to Anfield could be back on.
