Summary

Liverpool have signed Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich in a deal worth around £27million. So, Blood Red's Matt Addison speaks to Spanish football analyst Domagoj Kostanjšak to get the lowdown on the former Barcelona playmaker. Domagoj explains how the 29-year-old will fit into the Liverpool team, why Jurgen Klopp was so keen to get the Thiago deal over the line, and how he can bring the best out of the likes of Takumi Minamino and Naby Keita. He also compares Thiago to other players around Europe, with mentions for former Reds stars Philippe Coutinho and Xabi Alonso. Enjoy.
