Towards the end of Suso's career at Liverpool, there was a sense that the attacking midfielder would not fulfil his potential at Anfield.

The Spaniard's name was regularly mentioned in the background as being a star of the future, but the Reds never managed to witness his talent at an elite level.

After failing to gain regular minutes in the first team, Suso decided to seek pastures new and ended up signing for AC Milan in 2015.

It took time for the midfielder to find his feet at the San Siro, but in recent seasons he has become an established figure in the team.

For example, in the current campaign Suso has played every minute of Milan's 10 Serie A matches so far, and in that time he has scored seven goals and created four assists.

Suso season stats for AC Milan

In all competitions, the attack-minded star, who has been playing on the wing but can be positioned as a number 10, has been heavily involved.

Suso regularly tries to make things happen in the final third, and as well for going for glory himself, he has also provided some pin-point passes for his teammates.

Liverpool are not short of attacking talent but they have lacked a creative spark this season, which has made Philippe Coutinho's January departure more noticeable.

Suso was not good enough to cut it at the top level while he was at Anfield, but his spell in Milan has vastly improved his ability.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has much more strength in depth than he had last season, therefore Suso would have to jostle for a spot in the team.

However, having him back in their ranks would make the Reds even more of a threat than they already are.
