Schalke announced on Monday that defender Joel Matip had agreed to join Liverpool at the end of the season, per the club's official Twitter account.
The Cameroonian joins Liverpool from the Bundesliga, a league Reds boss Jurgen Klopp knows well from his time with Borussia Dortmund:
Liverpool to sign Matip on a free transfer - Klopp gets his man from BVB's arch-rivals. Once a Dortmunder, always a Dortmunder, I suppose

Liverpool fans on Twitter seemed pretty happy with the signing:
WE'VE GOT MATIP
JOEL MATIP
I JUST DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND
HE'S SUPER JURGENS MAN
HE'S BETTER THAN RAMOS
WE'VE GOT JOEL MATIP!
