There\u2019s no doubt about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former Liverpool forward also suggested that the club\u2019s heavy spending in recent transfer windows has not fully delivered the expected results, making Lewandowski\u2019s situation particularly appealing from a financial perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat they spent last summer has, in the end, proved not to be worth it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLewandowski\u2019s case is different because he\u2019d arrive on a free and eager to prove himself in the Premier League.
