Ragnar Klavan admits Liverpool's interest this summer shocked him.
The tough-tackling former Augsburg centre-half only believed he could end up at Anfield when Reds boss Jurgen Klopp sent him a selfie to confirm the news.
"Jurgen sent me a selfie to prove it was him," Klavan told the Daily Telegraph.
"I'd received the messages so I wrote back 'I don't believe you. I need proof'.
"He sent me the picture smiling."
