Liverpool youngster Joao Carlos Teixeira has welcomed former Sporting Lisbon teammate Tiago Ilori to Anfield.
Both players played key roles in a win over Liverpool in the NextGen Series in 2011.
"Tiago is really happy to be here," Teixeira told Liverpoolfc.com. "I have already spoken with him and he's going to enjoy it here.
"He is a really fast player for a centre-back, is tall and he will get stronger and improve here.
"I will show him the city and help him settle quickly."
