      Liverpool complete signing of Kostas Tsimikas


      Chris Shaw@__ChrisShaw

      Liverpool FC have completed the signing of left-back Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiacos on a long-term contract.

      The 24-year-old Greece international, capped three times by his country, joins the Premier League champions after penning a deal at Melwood today.

      Tsimikas made his senior debut for Olympiacos in December 2015 and went on to make 86 appearances for the Greek side in all competitions.

      More than half of those games came in 2019-20 as the defender helped his club reclaim the domestic title by an 18-point margin.

      He will now link up with his new teammates as JĆ¼rgen Kloppā€™s squad prepare for the upcoming campaign and defence of their Premier League title.

      ā€œIā€™m very happy, Iā€™m very proud to be here. For me, [itā€™s] the biggest club in the world. Itā€™s an honour to be here and I will give my best,ā€ Tsimikas told Liverpoolfc.com in an exclusive interview after completing his transfer.

      ā€œThe league here, I like a lot. I watch it on the TV and it was always one dream I had from when I was a kid to come to play in this league and to come through.

      ā€œWith a lot of work and focus on what I do and what the coach wants, and every day working hard in training, I can be on the highest level.

      ā€œ[I want] to achieve [our] goals. To win the league again and also to win the Champions League.ā€

      Tsimikas spent time on loan at Danish outfit Esbjerg and Dutch side Willem II earlier in his career, starting all but two league games for the latter in the 2017-18 campaign.

      He earned a senior international debut for Greece in October 2018 having also represented his country at U19 and U21 level previously.

      The defender will wear the No.21 shirt for Liverpool.

      Nice one. Seems a good bit of business. LB sorted, now CB and a winger (or two).

      All the media reports saying he's coming next week for a medical, or "in the next few days".

      Love it that we get things done under the radar like this.
      As it should be.

      Super player, very sad he is leaving Olympiacos to become a back up at Liverpool. However, he was once a back up at Olympiacos too and forced his way into the 11. Blue chip player. Any team would be happy to have him.

      Very clever of Liverpool to sign this player. In Greece he was superb but best not to judge on that. He dominated in the CL and Europa games against big teams. Superb player, has everything.

      Welcome to the greatest football club in the world lad.

      Under the radar? Literally been reports for the last couple days saying it would be done today or tomorrow. This is actually been one of our ā€œloudestā€ periods of time between pursuing this kid and the Lewis kid from Norwich.

      Great to see we've filled a position in the squad that everyone felt needed done.

      Never seen him kick a ball but our record in the market is so good I'm not one bit concerned.

      Looking forward to seeing him play.

      Fantastic one problem solved or at least attempted.  2 more to go.  CB and a wide forward.
