Florent Malouda has revealed how he almost signed for Liverpool before his high-profile transfer to Chelsea.

The French international spent six successful years at Stamford Bridge and has now shared how his pre-existing ties to the Chelsea squad saw the club beat Liverpool and Real Madrid to his signature.

It was a relatively low-cost transfer window for Chelsea, who snapped up Tal Ben Haim, Steve Sidwell, and Claudio Pizarro as free agents.
