Sebastian Coates is excited to now be kicking off his Liverpool career.
The 6ft 6in centre-back, named young player of the tournament in Uruguay's Copa America triumph this summer, is relishing the test of moving to, and playing in, a different country.
"The biggest attraction was the challenge: to come to an unfamiliar place - a huge club - and make a name for myself," he told LFC magazine.
"So far in my career, I have been very lucky; to play for Nacional, to play in the Copa Libertadores, to win the Copa America.
"There has been a lot of success in a short period of time but I have achieved that in a place where I am most comfortable.
"Now, I am here, in a different country, in a different league, with different team-mates.
"The best players are successful wherever they go. I am determined to become an important player here at a historical stage of the club's future."
