Wataru Endo has completed his move to Liverpool and been given the number 3 shirt vacated by Fabinho.
The Japanese international midfielder has agreeed a £16.2m move from Stuttgart on a three-year-contract.
“It’s going to be the first time for me that I play at Anfield,” he said. “I can’t wait to play at Anfield in front of Liverpool fans.
“I play as a No.6 and I’m like a bit more defensive player. I think I can help this club defensively and I will have good organisation in the middle. I think that’s my job.
“Number three is my number because I played as No.3 in Stuttgart and when I was playing in Japan, also. I love this number! I cannot wait to play with this number here.”
“I am very excited to join this club and I am looking forward to seeing you at Anfield.”
