This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello, Yergen, good afternoon, can you hear me okay?

Yes, I have risen.

Are you well? Okay interesting question.

Obviously I obviously don't look like thank you very much. I'm not as bad as I look, so let me say it like this.

Interesting day yesterday, obviously. Let's start with the transfers that you brought in.

First of all, Ben Davis, tell us about the process of bringing him in

and why you thought particularly he was the right sort of player for

Liverpool.

Oh, it's very interesting.

Very interesting signing.

Really looking forward to meet Ben finally because it was all pretty quick and these kind of things,

but you can imagine that in the last few weeks and days we had

it always to consider our situation and to think what what can we do what do we have to do stuff like this

and then so we were always looking all over in each league pretty much in Europe and

when I saw Ben it it was really interesting. It's obviously, it's a place for

present, German ship, gives him, makes him, shows that he's a very competitive player so he knows how it is to play a lot of games and

don't train a lot, play more than you train pretty much.

We watch him in different games obviously and he saw he is a really good footballer and

is a smart football player and a player who knows how to defend.

And when I was a second division player myself,

and what we all dreamt off was playing in the first league pretty much and I'm pretty sure well I know Ben did that as well and so now it's a big opportunity for both sides
