'He's right on track' - Klopp excited by potential of new Liverpool signing Tsimikas

Jurgen Klopp says new Liverpool signing Kostas Tsimikas is exactly what the team needs and is excited by his potential.

The 24-year-old left-back joined the Reds from Olympiacos this month in a deal worth £11.75 million ($15m).

Tsimikas won three Super League titles during his time at Olympiacos and made 86 appearances for the Greek giants, while he also spent a season on loan in the Eredivisie with Willem II before making the switch to the Premier League.
