The 24-year-old completed his move to Anfield on Wednesday for £7.25m, and he will now be the first Japanese player to ever appear for the Reds when he does eventually make his debut. With nine goals and 11 assists in 22 games so far this campaign, he could prove to be a very important addition to the team.

As ever when a new player arrives at a club, the supporters have taken to Twitter in their droves to share their thoughts on the deal. On the whole, you can see they are delighted with the confirmation.
Given that he scored against them in the Champions League for RB Salzburg earlier this season, it is no surprise to see the fans of the Merseyside outfit share their delight.

This deal has also brought along plenty of praise for Michael Edwards, the man in charge of the transfers at the club.
It really does look like a stunning piece of business. For just £7.25m, they have a player who has already contributed to five goals in six European matches this term. It really doesn’t get much better than that.
With this new arrival, some feel that it could be the end of the road for Xherdan Shaqiri.
Minamino is predominantly a right winger, which unfortunately for the Switzerland international is the same position as his own. It may well be the beginning of the end for the 28-year-old.
Liverpool fans must be licking the lips at the thought of seeing the forward on the pitch!
In other news, Liverpool are said to be monitoring this Serie A star.
