Liverpool have completed the signing of Ben Davies from Preston North End.
The Reds have paid an initial £500,000 for the 25-year-old centre-back, with a further £1.1m in add-ons.
Davies provides cover at centre-back for Jurgen Klopp, who is also expected to sign Ozan Kabak from Schalke.
Speaking to the club's website, Davies admitted he was surprised when an offer arrived from the reigning Premier League champions.
He said: “I'm obviously delighted to be here. It's a huge opportunity.
"Obviously it came as a bit of a surprise when it first came but once you start to get your head around it, the opportunity that is in front of me is incredible. I'd be silly to not make the most of it and learn off the players.
“I've never actually been to Anfield and I haven't had a look around yet. I had a quick look out and had a look at the pitch and it looks like carpet, which obviously you'd expect.
“I haven't actually walked out of the tunnel yet, so I'm looking forward to that. Just to be in this kind of atmosphere is brilliant."
