Takumi Minamino is all set to join Liverpool from January 1 next year, and manager Jurgen Klopp said it is a 'wonderful signing'.
"This is fabulous news - a wonderful signing. We are really, really happy about this," the club's official website quoted Klopp as saying.
Minamino will be making a move from Salzburg.
Klopp said the Japan international is very quick and a 'proper team payer'.
"Our supporters have had the chance to see him close up recently so I don't need to sing too loudly about his qualities as they are already known," he said.
"Takumi is a very quick, very clever player, he finds space between the lines. He is brave with the ball but also brave without the ball - a proper team player. He makes the best of himself for the benefit of others," Klopp added.
