Liverpool new boy Wataru Endo talks about his signing for the club.
Liverpool’s new signing Wataru Endo was speaking about his move to Merseyside when he revealed that he thought the Reds had already completed a move for Moises Caicedo.
The six-time Premier League champions were in search of a defensive midfielder following the exit of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson when they made a move for Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
They did reach an agreement with Brighton and Southampton, respectively, for both players; however, the duo opted to move to Chelsea instead, forcing the Reds to go for 30-year-old Wataru Endo.
