The agent of Liverpool signing Dominik Szoboszlai says the presence of manager Jurgen Klopp was key to the move.
The Hungary captain arrived last month from RB Leipzig.
"The coach is always important, perhaps one of the most important factors; it has been important before and it still is, but not from a personal point of view," Matyas Esterhazy, the midfielder's agent, told Sport TV.
"Much more from the point of view of philosophy, what he represents, what he believes about football, how he assembles his team, what kind of football he wants to play, what style of players are his main players. These tell us that Jurgen Klopp is an ideal professional for Dominik.
"They [Liverpool staff] knew everything about him; that's why they decided to sign him. They've been following him since his childhood, and they felt like his development had reached a point where he was ready to play for Liverpool and make this step."
