VIDEO: AS Monaco announce arrival of Minamino

Takumi Minamino has joined Monaco for a fee of 15 million euros, after three years at Liverpool.

The Japanese international has signed a four-year contract with the French side until 2026 and will be excited at the prospect of receiving more playing time than he did during his stint in the Premier League. Klopp praised Minamino last year for his contributions to the team, which included ten goals and one assist in 24 games played. The 27 year-old played a key part in Liverpool's domestic cup double success, where he was the top scorer for the 'reds' in both competitions.

Minamino will look to help Monaco secure Champions League qualification once again in his debut season in France and will join up with his teammates to begin preparations for next season.
