| Marko Grujic has completed his £5.1m move to Liverpool |
Liverpool completed a £5.1million deal for the Red Star Belgarde winger today, making him their first signing of the transfer window.
Grujic also becomes Klopp's first addition at Anfield but will return to the Serbian club for the rest of the season.
The 19-year-old was on Liverpool's radar before Klopp arrived but the German is excited about the teenager's potential.
"We're very pleased because Marko is a big talent and we've seen him a lot of times," he said.
"When I came here, our scouts showed me some footage of a very skilled player from Red Star Belgrade. We watched it, we spoke to him, we met each other – he's a good boy, a young boy but plays an important role at the moment at Red Star, who are the best team in Serbia.
"To describe him, I would say he's a tall boy, but quick and good at technical things. He can play passes and can dribble. But he is young, so he has to develop. He will do this, so everything is okay."
