Wataru Endo and Jurgen Klopp have both made their feelings clear after new £16.25m signing joins Liverpool
If there has been some apprehension among Liverpool fans about the signing of Wataru Endo, there are no such reservations from Jurgen Klopp.
No doubt the Reds required a proven defensive midfielder, a shortcoming that had become glaringly apparent in recent weeks after Jordan Henderson and Fabinho accepted the riches of Saudi Arabia with James Milner having already departed for Brighton on a free transfer.READ MORE: 'That's my job' - Wataru Endo's first words after signing for Liverpool
"It was very quick because I needed to decide this move in almost 24 hours, and I decided. I just said goodbye to my family and I flew here, then I did the medical check." As well as stepping into the boots of Fabinho, Endo has also assumed the jersey of the departed Brazilian, becoming the 11th player to wear the number three for Liverpool during the Premier League era.
New surrounds, yes, but not everything will feel unusual to Endo. During his initial season-long loan at Stuttgart in 2019/20, he played alongside Liverpool centre-back Nat Phillips - who was also having a temporary stay with the club - and helped them win promotion back to the Bundesliga.
