Minamino hails two Liverpool stars as he settles in at Anfield
Liverpool star Takumi Minamino admits that he has been relying on Sadio Mane and Naby Keita in his first few weeks at Anfield.
A £7.25million release clause in his contract was triggered by the Reds, with the Premier League leaders striking a deal with RB Salzburg before the transfer window opened.
Minamino is being eased into life on Merseyside and concedes that he is fortunate to have German speakers around him.
He told Liverpool’s official website: “You know that you are part of the team, but because my English is not good enough yet their help has been really important.
“They are still helping me on some occasions and during the first days they taught me the team rules, things like what time the meetings started and how the team functions on a daily basis.
“At the moment I speak a lot with the players who can speak German.”
Mane spent a brief spell alongside Minamino in Salzburg, while Keita caught the eye in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig before sealing a switch to Liverpool.
