Joe Gomez is excited about his move to Liverpool.

The former Charlton Athletic defender completed his transfer to Anfield yesterday.

Gomez told liverpoolfc.com: "It's flattering to know that a massive club like this were interested in me. That was one of the main things - I knew how great the club is. That's why it was an easy decision to come here. To know that a place like this was interested and knew about me was great.

"The club has got great history and it's a great club, and one that I've always been following from when I was young. The style of football and the top players here was somewhere that I wanted to go and get better and learn, and play good football. It was an easy decision." Asked about playing for Brendan Rodgers, Gomez was adamant.

"Being a young player, I know that opportunities can be slim sometimes. But under a manager like Brendan, it speaks for itself. That's why I was really keen to come here and play under him."
