Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas says he values his time with Liverpool.

Aspas has revealed that he still took positives from his time at the club and from a spell at Sevilla, where he was quickly loaned out for the 2014/15 season.

He told Sky Sports: "Despite what people may think, it was a very enriching experience for me.

"In England and then in Seville I grew as a professional and a person.

"My relationship with Rodgers was normal between a coach and his player. I did not play much that year, but you must remember that I met Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge at the highest level. Suarez is a spectacular striker.

"I would not have stayed because I wanted to play as many minutes as possible and there I did not have them, not when Suarez was playing like that.

"Language? I learned something, not much, but football is a universal language."
