Liverpool have confirmed the signing of FC Salzburg forward Takumi Minamino on a four-and-a-half year deal, the Premier League leaders said on Thursday.
Minamino will officially join for £7.25 million when the January transfer window opens on Jan. 1. His debut could come against Everton in the FA Cup on Jan 5.
"It has been a dream, my dream to become a Liverpool player. And I'm so excited that the moment has come true," Minamino said.
"To play in the Premier League was one of my targets. I think this is the top-class league in the world; I was thinking if my career as a footballer progressed smoothly, someday I would be able to play in the Premier League.
