Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren is convinced of big things from new teammate Mohamed Salah.

Lovren believes the addition of Salah, who scored on his first appearance for the club in Friday's 1-1 friendly draw at Wigan, will help address that issue.

"(Sadio) Mane had his injury and we missed him," said the Croatia international.

"We saw (Salah on Friday) and we will see more of his qualities. He needs more time as he's only had six days with us and everything is completely new (but) I think he will be perfect in this system."

The only other arrival so far is England Under-20 World Cup winner Dominic Solanke, who joined after his contract expired with Chelsea, but he has already shown glimpses of promise in two separate 45-minute outings so far.

"I think they (Salah and Solanke) have their qualities and Jurgen knows what he needs and what the team needs to improve," added Lovren.

"I think he made a good choice. These guys work really hard on the pitch and in training so it is always good to welcome such players like these.

"Quality players are always welcome but we have other players like Mane, Phil (Coutinho) so I think it will be a difficult job to get in the first XI with so many good players."
