# Liverpool fans have found a new hero at Anfield – and his name is Xherdan Shaqiri

**Liverpool’s summing signings have had varying degrees of impact at Anfield so far this season, with Jurgen Klopp taking different approaches with each of them.**

Whilst Alisson is a regular, as is Naby Keita, Fabinho has had to wait for his chance, whilst Xherdan Shaqiri has largely settled into a rotational role.

Shaqiri has made a pretty good impact so far this season, having picked up both goals and assists, and it seems as though the Swiss midfielder is gaining himself a lot of fans in the process.

[Liverpool recently shared a goal from Shaqiri, showing him ducking and diving and putting it into the back of the net, and in response, many fans have lavished praise upon him.](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1057533127621406720)

He may have only been at the club for a short period of time, but there is no doubting that Shaqiri is already one of Anfield’s most popular men. One fan has even suggested that Mo Salah could learn a thing or two from him.

Take a look at what fans have had to say below…

> It doesn’t matter if it’s a full 90 minutes or a mere 10 minutes, Shaqiri WILL PROVIDE SOMETHING significant, whether it’s a goal, assist, a fantastic through ball, or a good set piece. Absolute steal!
