Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes that Gylfi Sigurdsson missed out on a "wonderful opportunity" by joining Tottenham Hotspur instead of the Reds.
Sigurdsson played under Rodgers while on loan at Swansea City at the end of last season, but opted to move to White Hart Lane instead of following the manager to Anfield.
Rodgers thinks that playing for a "footballing institution" like Liverpool is a great opportunity for any player, but insists that there are no hard feelings between himself and Sigurdsson.
"Liverpool would have provided Gylfi with a wonderful opportunity to perform with a manager that he knows and at a club which is a real footballing institution," said Rodgers.
"But he's decided to go to Tottenham, for whatever reason. I wish him the best, he's a good kid and there's no ill feeling. We've got other targets and we'll move on."
The 22-year-old Iceland international has explained that his decision to join Spurs was motivated by the club's ambition.
