Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has welcomed the deal for Dejan Lovren. The former Southampton defender completed his move yesterday.
"I think he's a really commanding centre-half," Rodgers told liverpoolfc.com. "I've said since we lost Jamie Carragher that we needed that leadership. He's a player that gives us that.
"He's very strong, very commanding, but he can play. I've been really impressed with him.
"I watched him at Lyon, he came into the Premier League with Southampton and I know their players thought he was a big driving force for them and kept them defensively solid.
"He had a really good World Cup. I think he's a player that can still improve, still develop as he's in his mid-20s. He's someone I'm really looking forward to working with."
