Liverpool's most expensive signings ever

Sports Mole looks at the most expensive signings in Liverpool's glittering history.

One of the most successful teams to ever grace the English game, Liverpool are no strangers to big-money moves in the transfer market, even if the owners sometimes come under fire for a perceived lack of spending.

Of the most expensive players to arrive at Anfield, some have well and truly made their mark at the club, while others' stints on Merseyside are best consigned to the back pages of history.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the most expensive signings in Liverpool's illustrious history.
