He was asked why he had chosen to join Liverpoool and he said: “When you see how they performed last season it makes me want to do the same and to be a part of this team.
“I would like to be able to achieve a similar kind of season with them next season – but even better.
“I chose Liverpool because it is a team I watched often – and I also spoke a lot about it with Sadio. He told me a lot about the team and the club.
“I also spoke with the coach, who told me about the project for the team and that motivated me to be here.”
