Liverpool have announced they have completed the signing of Augsburg defender Ragnar Klavan in a deal worth £5m.
Klavan, 30, has been signed primarily to be Jurgen Klopp’s fourth choice centre-back following injuries to Mamadou Sakho and Joe Gomez in pre-season.
The Estonia captain, who featured against Liverpool in the Europa League last season, has put pen to paper on a long-term contract with the Premier League giants.
“I’m really honoured to be part of this amazing club, this amazing team,” Klavan told Liverpool’s official website.
“It’s hard to put it into words, because it’s been a dream of mine for 22 years to come to the Premier League and be a part of this amazing club, Liverpool.”
“The Premier League is the most attractive league in the world and you always have amazing players here. This is the home of football.”
Klavan has made 744 clearances for Augsburg over the last four seasons - 108 more than any other Bundesliga player in that time.
