Speaking with Liverpoolfc.com, Lallana said: "Fantastic signing. It's going to be more competition for places again, which is hugely positive to have. "The more you're competing, the higher the level is in training. That means the quality is going to be higher on a Saturday, Wednesday or whenever we're playing.
