It's been a frustrating week at Liverpool. The Reds saw Chelsea swoop in to nick a defensive midfielder from under their nose not once but twice with Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
But Jurgen Klopp does have a player in the building at last in the form of Wataru Endo, and at a fraction of the cost of the aforementioned duo.
The 30-year-old made 33 Bundesliga appearances last season, scoring five goals and registering four assists.
Stuttgart narrowly avoided relegation last season by winning a play-off against Hamburg.
Liverpool have been after a defensive midfielder following the departures of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and James Milner this summer, while fellow midfielders Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have also left the club.
