Thiago Alcantara has reportedly agreed terms with Liverpool, Sports Bild confirms.

The 29-year old Spaniard has been Liverpool’s number one target after losing Timo Werner to Chelsea earlier due to their inability to activate his £52m release clause.

Reds fans thought the deal was going to be another setback especially when Manchester United tried hijacking Alcantara to Old Trafford.

A change in Klopp's tactics this season will benefit the Reds especially when teams seem to adapt to the Reds style of play through the laterals.

Andy Robertson and Trent Arnold Alexander contributed a combined assist of 25 in the 2019/20 Premier League season, to help the Reds end their Premier League trophy drought for 30 years.
