Jurgen Klopp hints at Takumi Minamino's new position ahead of Liverpool debut
Jurgen Klopp has suggested that he could turn Liverpool new boy Takumi Minamino into a central midfielder.
Minamino joined the Reds from RB Salzburg and he can make his debut against Everton in the FA Cup on January 5.
"Takumi is a player who can help us immediately. In the short term and the long term from an age perspective," Klopp told ESPN.
"He is already really good as everyone could see when we played him against Salzburg but there is still potential there to become even better. You always need fresh legs when you play Sunday and Wednesday just to keep everybody on their toes. It isn't a competition, it is just to have different options in different moments.
"The door is wide open for Taki to come straight into the team. He has been really welcome since he came in. He is a very exciting player and it is really good that Liverpool played him so the supporters could see that he is a proper player.
"He is a player that we need and can play in all the offensive positions and can maybe play as an eight as well, we will have to see that. He is a sensationally good guy, smart. He speaks really good German so he will learn English quickly. I am really excited to have him and it is always good to have everyone on their toes."
