Forgotten Liverpool flop on loan at Gerard Pique’s FC Andorra and hasn’t played for Reds nearly six years after arriving

A FORGOTTEN Liverpool flop is hoping to salvage his Anfield career with a loan spell with Gerard Pique’s FC Andorra.

That’s despite being at the Merseyside club for almost SIX years without making a single appearance.

Anderson Arroyo, 24, is a defender who hails from Colombia.

Able to play at centre-back or right-back, he was snapped up by Liverpool from Fortaleza CEIF in February 2018.

Arroyo was immediately loaned to Spanish side Mallorca for 18 months in the hope of securing a British work permit.

But he never played for the seniors, featuring just 14 times for Mallorca’s B team before his loan was cut short.

Arroyo has since embarked on a further five temporary moves in order to gain his work permit.

And he made it six when he signed with FC Andorra in July.

The minnows were bought by Barcelona legend and ex-Man Utd star Pique in 2018.

Arroyo has since played eight times for his latest club.

And he hopes he can finally earn the post-Brexit work permit needed to feature for Liverpool.

Indeed, Klopp could yet have plans for Arroyo after handing him a new contract last year.

The ace needs to bag 15 “eligibility points” to be able to play in England.

These are acquired by club minutes, the quality of the league and senior international appearances.

And Arroyo will have to bank on playing a full season for FC Andorra in order to achieve his dream.

But he can take heart from Chelsea’s Andrey Santos, who was denied a work permit when he joined the Blues from Vasco de Gama in January.

The midfielder returned to his old side on loan before securing his work permit via the international route.

Santos led Brazil’s U20s to the World Cup before earning a single senior cap.

And it was enough for Chelsea to finally register him before deciding to loan Santos to fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest.
