Liverpool announced the signing of Spanish full-back Javier Manquillo yesterday on a loan deal from Atletico Madrid.
The 20-year-old right-back has been with current Primera Division champions Atletico since 2007 and has represented his country at various youth levels.
He said: “I’m very happy to have signed for a club like Liverpool.
“I think it’s one of the biggest in Europe. Any footballer would want to come and play here.”
It is understood that the loan is for two years and Manquillo hopes he can be a Liverpool player for the long term.
He said: “When they tell you Liverpool want to sign you, I think like any player, you are going to be absolutely amazed and you don’t think of anything else than going straight there.
“The immediate objective is to do the best I possibly can here.
“I’ve come here to try and secure a place for myself in the side and, if possible, stay here for many more years in the future.”
