Liverpool’s new signing Arthur Melo has lifted the lid on how he held extensive talks with Jurgen Klopp about his vision for the midfielder after sealing a deadline day move to Anfield. The Brazilian joins from Juventus on a season-long loan deal to provide cover in midfield and the 26-year-old spoke of his delight about joining the Reds.

The central midfielder will link up with the Reds for the rest of the season and becomes Jurgen Klopp’s fourth summer signing after Darwin Nunez, Calvin Ramsey and Fabio Carvalho.

It is reported in Italy that Liverpool have paid £3.9m (€4.5m) to secure the former Barcelona man on loan, with the option to make the deal permanent for £32.5m (€37.5m) in the summer.

And the Brazil international could hardly conceal his delight at joining Klopp’s squad of stars, revealing how he held long conversations with the German tactician before deciding to make the move to Anfield.

“I’m really, really happy to be here wearing this great shirt with this famous badge that represents so much in world football, it’s a dream,” Arthur told the club’s official website.

“We talked a lot, and our ideas and visions were a good fit so I’m sure it was the right choice. I’m really happy and highly motivated to continue living my dream on the pitch and giving my all in a Liverpool shirt.”
