WATCH: Liverpool fans give Sepp van den Berg rousing reception for debut

Sepp van den Berg made his debut for Liverpool against Sporting CP after receiving his international clearance.

The former PEC Zwolle defender was given a rousing reception by the Reds fans on the night.

Van den Berg joined Liverpool from PEC Zwolle in June for an initial fee of £1.3million, but a series of appearance-based add-ons could see the Eredivisie side inherit around £4.4m.

Liverpool fended off competition from Bayern Munich, PSV and Sampdoria for the highly-rated 17-year-old.

Here is the reception he received as he ran onto the pitch at the New York's Yankee Stadium on Wednesday evening.
