Daniel Sturridge has suggested that he regrets leaving Liverpool in the summer of 2019 after winning the Champions League.
Sturridge scored 67 goals in 120 appearances for the Reds after signing from Chelsea in January 2013.
Reoccurring injuries ensured he was rarely more than a bit-part player under Jurgen Klopp.
The former England international was an unused substitute when the Reds beat Tottenham Hotspur in the 2019 Champions League final, before being allowed to leave the club as a free agent that summer.
Liverpool would go on to win the Premier League title the following season, and would lift every major honour on offer to them under Klopp before 2022.
Sturridge was asked which great Premier League-winning side he would have liked to play in
While the boyhood Arsenal fan initially picked the Gunners' Invincibles sides of 2003/04, he also admitted he'd wished he'd been able to stay at Anfield for another season.
Sturridge:
"The Invincibles, some of my heroes played for that team.," he answered. "So you know, if I could have been involved in that team, playing alongside Thierry and Dennis Bergkamp and Pires and all those guys."
"But of course, winning the Premier League with my teammates when I left Liverpool the season after would’ve been nice to be a part of that, to experience that with the guys considering all the years I spent with them."
