Lovren ‘started from zero’ after snubbing Liverpool exit to remain part of Klopp’s plans

The Croatia international defender admits to having attracted interest over the summer, but a Champions League triumph convinced him to stay put

Dejan Lovren admits to having considered a move away from Liverpool over the summer, but was happy to start “from zero” again on the back of a Champions League triumph with the Reds.

The Croatia international has found himself slipping down the pecking order at Anfield.

He was once a big-money arrival on Merseyside, but has seen £75 million ($97m) signing Virgil van Dijk take his place as the main man in Jurgen Klopp’s back four.
