It must be a massive boost to confidence to be targeted and signed by Liverpool and especially Klopp at this moment. To know that we want you, considering our recent success in the market must make you feel ten feet tall.

For 7.5 mil you can't go wrong really nowadays. From what I've seen he looks like a decent player and will fit in nicely.

So if Klopp's expecting a 'seamless transition', it looks like we'll see him pretty quickly in the team. Also, the manager's comments are extremely complimentary about Salzberg: the quote about players 'with talent and hunger' wanting to go there helps them with their business model.

And he also welcomed the new Japanese fans! Just well expressed overall.

He’s the living reincarnation of Garcia isn’t he? The height, the frame, the close control, the movement, the speed, the unpredictability, the instinctive finishing...

Insane to think he only cost a few hundred grand more than Luis did 15 years ago.

Seems a tidy little player from the couple of games I have seen, but I do hope they've not just bought him because he was grossly underpriced.

Given that the Austrian season has finished for winter, do we reckon Salzburg will release him to train with us in the run-up to Jan 1st? Gives him time to get to speed with what we're looking for so he can hit the ground running when he can play.

Wouldn’t be surprised. He was rested for their last league match so they are being very fair to him

Was wondering how they were reacting to it in Japan.

Had a look on the Japon Times website and couldn't find it at all. Maybe we won't be making loads of money from this!

Yeah, I saw that. Would be fantastic if he could have a full week or so of training under his belt before making his debut - makes that integration a little bit easier.

Club have pulled another incredible move. £7m is an incredible bargain

No surprise that the club have just created their own official @LFCJapan Twitter account to celebrate.

Think it's safe to say we're going to be doing our next pre-season tour in Asia.

We got Coutinho for a similar price as well, hope he does the business. From what I've seen he's tidy and doesn't do things by halves, pretty much exactly what a Klopp player is.

This deal is absolutely absurd. How can we be this good at transfers. Feels like cheating.

Seems like a lovely little player and at worst greatly improves our strength in depth. He is at the right age for Klopp to grab hold of him and turn him to a proper monster of a player too.

Nice to tick off another nationality to have played for Liverpool too.
