Liverpool are renowned for their amazing recruitment strategies whilst Michael Edwards occupied the position of sporting director at Anfield for many years, playing a huge part in building the squad that finally won the Premier League title for the first time in 2020.

Mohammed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Alisson Becker, Andy Robertson and Fabinho are all products of Edwards' vision for the club, but it's not just incomings that the club have struck gold on.

The Reds have ruthlessly sold any player that doesn't fit the profile, matched the high standards in quality or simply were not in the mindset to take the team forward, and have rarely got it wrong when sending players packing.

Not only that, the players that are deemed no longer a good fit for the team are more often than not sold on for a good profit and one player that Edwards made the right call on was Leicester City goalkeeper Danny Ward.

Ward who has been dubbed "awful" by journalist Ade Adeayo, only made three senior appearances for the Merseysiders before the decision was made to sell up in 2018, making £12.5m on the keeper who joined the club in 2012 at just 19 years old from Wrexham for a fee of only £100k.

That is a staggering return for the club, who ultimately sold the Welshman on for 12400% more than their initial investment.

Since then, the 29-year-old had been in the shadow of Kasper Schmeichel at the King Power Stadium until this summer when the Leicester number one decided to make a move to Ligue 1 side Nice, giving Ward the golden opportunity to prove his worth by stepping into the Danish 'keeper's shoes.

However, it's safe to say it isn't going well for the Foxes gloveman since being given the responsibility to protect the Leicester City goal, conceding the most goals in the entire Premier League (22) so far in just eight games, which has contributed to Brendan Rodgers' men falling into the relegation zone.

Ward has conceded 2.8 goals per game, with one error leading to a shot and another error leading to a goal, completing just 33% of his long balls.

In fact, the stopper is currently the second lowest-rated player in the entire Premier League, as per WhoScored, with a rating of 5.99 only second to Emmanuel Dennis (5.93) who has played only 88 minutes so far for Nottingham Forest.

It appears that Ward is completely out of his depth at Leicester and is making his name in the Premier League for all the wrong reasons, something Edwards clearly foresaw four years ago when he was sold on by Liverpool.
