Javier Manquillo: Liverpool among biggest clubs in Europe

Javier Manquillo is delighted with his move to Liverpool. The defender has joined on-loan from Atletico Madrid.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "I'm very happy to have signed for a club like Liverpool.

"I think it's one of the biggest in Europe. Any footballer would want to come and play here."

It is understood that the loan is for two years, and Manquillo hopes he can be a Liverpool player for the long-term.

He said: "When they tell you Liverpool want to sign you, I think like any player, you are going to be absolutely amazed and you don't think of anything else than going straight there.

"The immediate objective is to do the best I possibly can here.

"I've come here to try and secure a place for myself in the side and, if possible, stay here for many more years in the future."
