Takumi Minamino caught Andy Robertson’s eye earlier this season - and the left-back is delighted he will now be playing with, not against, Liverpool’s new signing.
It was announced on Thursday that the Reds had agreed a deal with Red Bull Salzburg for the transfer of Minamino, with the Japan international to officially move to Anfield on January 1.
The 24-year-old was an influential figure when Liverpool met Salzburg in the Champions League group stages and scored and assisted as the Reds beat Die Mozartstädter 4-3 at Anfield.
Robertson, then, knows all about Minamino’s quality and is looking forward to classing him as a teammate.
