After coming off the bench against Cardiff and also setting up a goal just two days after his arrival and later then started his first Premier League game in the 2-0 win over Leicester.

speaking to Liverpool’s official website, the No. 23 said it could hardly have gone better so far.

“It’s going the best way possible and it’s kind of the way that we all wanted,” he explained.

“Certainly from a personal point of view, it’s just how I wanted to try to start and what I’ve dreamed of and how I dreamed of starting.

“I knew that I’d come to a very competitive club involved in everything. So, I’m really, really happy how it’s started and long may it continue.”

“It has been a bit of a surprise, yeah,” he continued.

“This is how I wanted everything to work out. I wanted to settle as quickly as possible, as I was saying before, and to get to know the style of play and feel comfortable.

“In training and on the field, I think I’ve managed to develop a good understanding with my teammates – and I think that’s been down to both them and the coaching staff, who have helped me in this settling-in period.

“They have been a great help to me. I’m here to try to help, I’m here to try to support the team and the lads.

“As I say, I want to just keep doing my best.”
