Liverpool's new midfielder Wataru Endo once hid his real age from Jurgen Klopp, it's been claimed.
Wataru Endo's move to Liverpool seemed a little last minute but it turns out that Jurgen Klopp has been high on him for quite some time.
But Endo impressed and Klopp asked his Japan teammate Takumi Minamino how old he was. “How old is that No. 3?” Klopp quizzed the forward, appearing interested in Endo., he jokingly told pal Minamino to lie to his manager about how old he was, saying: “Try to say 23 years old!”.But regardless of how old he is, Klopp clearly still rates Endo as a player and he signed a four-year contract on 18 August.
However, Endo now has further competition in central midfield after Liverpool snapped up Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern in a £34.2 million switch.And Klopp has admitted that Endo still needs to adjust to Liverpool's way of playing.
