Liverpool's latest signing Wataru Endo is someone who they have been eyeing for years.
That is the view of manager Jurgen Klopp, who heaped praise on the new arrival.
The 30-year-old midfielder has signed from Stuttgart in a deal that will cost the Reds approximately 16 million.
Many fans are underwhelmed after the club failed to sign Moises Caicedo or Romeo Lavia.
However, Reds' boss said: "Absolutely. Again, in our club usually that's the situation... if he's not 30, firstly, I am not sure we get him.
Second, he was always on my list, just usually we don't sign players of this age group.
He is obviously a top fit and we will have a lot of fun with him. I'm really sure he can help us immediately, which is super-cool because the season already started.
So, he will show how good he is on the pitch and I can't wait to have him around."
