When Fabinho left the team, Liverpool was left in a tight spot, missing out on Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo and Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia. Since then, a number of midfielder names have hit the media and a surprise reinforcement has been completed.
When he approached Japanese midfielder Wataru Endo, who was playing for Stuttgart, he quickly put together a deal. The Japanese captain, who will wear the number “3” that the Brazilian midfielder had carried after his move to Saudi Arabia, is not well known in England, and at 30 years of age, some doubted his ability.
Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann, who is usually known for his harsh and off-the-mark comments, posted that he would surprise people at Anfield, referring to the player’s high performance in the Bundesliga in his home country.
“I think Endo will surprise a few people. Technically very gifted and disciplined. Think he’s made for that role, kept a struggling side together in the last few seasons. He’ll also be better with more talent around him.”
