Japan captain completes move from Stuttgart for about £16mLiverpool manager pleased to land ‘really good player’
Liverpool have completed the signing of the Japan captain Wataru Endo for about €19m (£16.2m). The 30-year-old has signed a four-year contract at Anfield, subject to a work permit and international clearance.
Liverpool moved for the former Stuttgart captain after missing out on Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia to Chelsea in the past week. Endo’s age profile represents a departure from previous transfer targets but Klopp believes the midfielder’s quality and experience will help rejuvenate his team alongside the new additions Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
