Liverpool summer signing Wataru Endo cannot hide his delight at being at the Anfield club.

The Japanese veteran midfielder was a surprise sighing by manager Jurgen Klopp in the summer transfer window.

Endo, who started against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup win in midweek, admits there are exciting times ahead at the Merseyside giants.

He told The Athletic: "The system is different, the game is faster and my position here is a little bit higher than it was.

"The manager doesn't want me to just stay in front of the defenders. I have to go higher and try to get the ball all the time.

"Here we have to win every game, but I don't feel pressure as a result of that. I am humble, but I have the mentality that I'm here because they believe in me. It's exciting to be a part of it.

“This is my dream and I'm enjoying it. We have done great so far."
