Shaka Hislop sees no reason why Jurgen Kloop wouldn't bring Takumi Minamino into the fold at Liverpool.
Liverpool have confirmed the signing of FC Salzburg forward Takumi Minamino on a four-and-a-half year deal, the Premier League leaders said on Thursday.
Minamino will officially join for £7.25 million when the January transfer window opens on Jan. 1. His debut could come against Everton in the FA Cup on Jan 5.
Sources told ESPN how Liverpool beat Premier League rivals Manchester United to the Japan international's signature by triggering the 24-year-old's release clause following their Champions League victory against Salzburg last Tuesday.
And with the Austrian Bundesliga having closed down for its winter break, Minamino completed his medical at Liverpool on Wednesday ahead of the move.
