Liverpool have completed the signing of Augsburg defender Ragnar Klavan on a long-term contract.
Reds manager Jurgen Klopp was keen to bolster his centre-back options having released Kolo Toure and sold Martin Skrtel to Fenerbahce, while Mamadou Sakho and Joe Gomez are both injured.
Klavan has now arrived on a reported £4.2million fee and provides competition for Joel Matip - signed on a free transfer from Schalke - and Dejan Lovren.
"I'm really honoured to be part of this amazing club, this amazing team," he told Liverpool's official website.Reds manager Jurgen Klopp was keen to bolster his centre-back options having released Kolo Toure and sold Martin Skrtel to Fenerbahce, while Mamadou Sakho and Joe Gomez are both injured.
