Xherdan Shaqiri reveals key reasons behind leaving Liverpool for Lyon

Xherdan Shaqiri has opened up on the reasons behind his decision to leave Liverpool. The 29-year-old has been one of the key players in Jurgen Klopp’s squad, however, later having found his time limited following the arrival of Diogo Jota to Anfield. Shaqiri decided to make a move to the French side Lyon for £9.5m last month. Now the attacker has revealed to French media why he chose to join Lyon.

“Peter Bosz loves possession [based] attacking football,” he reportedly told TF1’s Telefoot show.   “He was one of the main reasons for me to come [to Lyon].   “I want to succeed and take them to a new level. With my experience and my level of game, I want to help this club regain its former glory.   “The objective is to win new trophies, to put Lyon back where it was more than ten years ago. It’s time to take this team to the place it deserves.”
