Liverpool's surprise move for Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo will see the Brazilian join up with a number of his international teammates at Anfield.
The Reds already have Alisson Becker, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino in their first team squad and it is the latter who Melo knows best, having spent time with the Liverpool No. 9 in the national team setup.
It seemed unlikely that Jurgen Klopp would make a move for a midfielder before the end of the summer transfer window, but with captain Jordan Henderson suffering a fresh injury against Newcastle United on Wednesday evening, the Reds made their move on deadline day.
