Liverpool made a surprise move for 30-year-old midfielder and Japan international Wataru Endo on Wednesday; Jurgen Klopps side missed out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea; Endo has signed four-year deal at Anfield through to 2027
Watch new Liverpool signing Wataru Endo's excellent goal for Stuttgart to finish a counter-attack against Mainz last season"Endo will be a much-needed influence in the Liverpool engine room. He's able to play the holding role and at centre half, but, ostensibly, he's a central midfielder.
"He's been brought in by Jurgen Klopp to fill the holding role vacated by Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. Liverpool need a bit of experience in the heart of their midfield and, after missing out on Moises Caicedo, it was imperative Liverpool brought someone in."Endo has 50 caps for Japan and has been a regular in the centre of Stuttgart's midfield in the Bundesliga for the past three seasons. He's no youngster, though - Endo turned 30 in February.
As for his stats last season, he ranked among the top three Bundesliga midfielders for ball recoveries and ranked highly in passing and tackling metrics, too.
