Dejan Lovren delighted joining Southampton pals at Liverpool

Dejan Lovren is delighted to be the third player from Southampton to join Liverpool this summer.

The defender yesterday followed Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert to Anfield.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "Yes, of course, but it's not just Rickie or Adam, I also want to meet the other lads and I can't wait to start with them. They are top players and top lads. Of course I know Adam and Rickie a lot better from last season - they are great players and they deserve to be here."

On Lambert, Lovren said of the striker: "He has a lot of experience, has played a lot of games in the Premier League and the Championship also. Rickie scored a lot of important goals last season and I learned a lot of things from him. He was like a leader for us."

And regarding Lallana, he added: "I really enjoyed playing with Adam last season - it was amazing. He was the main player, playing all of the games. Like Rickie, he is a great leader, even though he is only 26. Now the dream has come true and we will get the chance to play together."
