Jurgen Klopp has bolstered his Liverpool squad for the coming season with the addition of Estonian defender Ragnar Klavan to the team.
The 30-year-old joins from Bundesliga side Augsburg on a long-term deal for a fee of £4.2m.
"I’m really honoured to be part of this amazing club, this amazing team," he told Liverpool’s official website.
"It’s hard to put it into words, because it’s been a dream of mine for 22 years to come to the Premier League and be a part of this amazing club, Liverpool.
"The Premier League is the most attractive league in the world and you always have amazing players here. This is the home of football."
🗣 "It's hard to put it into words!"

Klavan becomes Klopp's fourth signing of the season, with Sadio Mane, Joel Matip and Loris Karius already having joined the squad.
A defender was bound to be top of the list as the next player signed for Liverpool with the departure of Martin Skrtel to Fenerbache and Kolo Toure released on a free transfer.
Goalkeeper Adam Bogdan has also completed a season-long loan deal with Wigan Athletic.
