“It feels really, really good," he said. "I enjoyed the last [few] days and I’m looking forward to knowing everybody better. The last three or four days went really long; it was not that easy. But at the end I’m here, I’m happy and I can’t wait to get started.
“I've been in Leipzig and Salzburg and it was also really nice, but here as well, it's really cool. I was really happy [when I heard of Liverpool's interest] but I stayed calm because I didn't want to be too early [too] happy. First when the boss called me, I felt that OK, it can be a really good thing at the end. Yes, in the end, everything is perfect.
"[A] really historic club, really good players, good coach, everything is good. For me it was perfect to make the next step in a club like this. The fans, the stadium, everything is really good.
"As I said, I think in 2020, [Klopp is] one of the best coaches in the world. How he acts next to the pitch, it is like he plays with the guys. I like that really a lot. And also how he does with the last few years, what he has achieved with this club is also really impressive, so I am looking forward to working with him."
He added: "To be honest, it doesn't matter to me where I play. I just want to be on the pitch. Of course, everyone has their own positions, attacking midfielder as a No.10, I can play on both sides, left and right and on the sides, also. I just want to play. I am a player who can play box to box, quite fast but not the fastest as I see the players here. I have a quite good shot but it's not only me, it's the team so I am looking forward."
