Liverpool's Shaqiri lives in Manchester
Xherdan Shaqiri may be Anfield's new icon, but the winger admits he has never stepped foot in Liverpool city centre, and still lives down the M62 in Manchester.
It is not unusual for Jurgen Klopp's players to live in a leafy suburb outside the city, but it may come as a surprise to Reds fans that he has not once ventured into the centre.
Shaqiri spoke about his life off the football field to Swiss newspaper 'Blick'.
"I still live in Manchester, in the same house where I lived during my time with Stoke," he said.
"To be honest I have never yet been into the city of Liverpool, except to the team hotel with the rest of the squad.
"The players told me it is somewhat difficult to go there, as people come up to you pretty directly.
"Is it dangerous because of the Everton fans? I don't know. I think that if you behave decently then nothing will happen to you.
"But when we are at the team hotel in the city on Fridays we can hear the people outside at 11pm and midnight.
"I think the window-panes in England aren't as thick as the ones in Switzerland!"
