Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was pleased with Takumi Minamino's debut for victory at Wolves.

Klopp has outlined how thrilled he was with the first Premier League showing of January signing Minamino, following the 25-year-old's substitute appearance against Wolves.

Speaking during his FA Cup press conference on Friday, prior to Liverpool's clash with Shrewsbury, Klopp listed the highlights of Minamino's first league outing.

"Yesterday was a big step for him, a game like this game wasn't for anyone to shine or make a name," Klopp said.

"Showing up like he did not with his skills but with his mentality, he was fighting like crazy and closed gaps.

"It was was a super start. [He's] exactly the player we expected to get, super boy and super player.

"It was a proper fight and he was ready. just the player we wanted and now he's ours."
