Arphexad joined Liverpool on a free transfer under the Bosman ruling during the
summer from Premiership rivals Leicester City.The keeper will provide strong
competition for Sander Westerveld, and who can forget last season's amazing
performance from Arphexad in Leicester's 2-0 win at Anfield. No matter what the
likes of Patrik Berger and Robbie Fowler hit at the visitors' goal there was no
way past the Frenchman, making it a frustrating night for Emile Heskey against
his old club.
A firm favourite with the Leicester supporters, Arphexad fulfilled a dream of
playing in the Premiership when he arrived at Filbert Street from French club
Lens, in August 1997.However, Arphexad faced strong competition for the Number
One jersey from England international Tim Flowers, and the two shared first team
duties.
