He's the 'Best' – Star Claims Liverpool Have Agreed a Top Signing

Since the arrival of German manager Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, Liverpool have agreed two key signings but both will be part of the Reds’ team next season.
Marko Gurjic signed for the Reds in the winter window but was loaned back to Red Star Belgrade for the remainder of the season.
On the other hand, Liverpool reached an agreement last month to sign Schalke center back Joel Matip for free in the summer transfer window (LFC).

The Set Pieces blog had discussions with Schalke goalie Ralf Fährmann and the German was full of praise for his team mate Joel Matip.
Ralf claimed that Matip is Schalke’s ‘best’ player and the ‘second best’ center back in the German Bundesliga. Moreover, he also stated that Matip is one of the kindest guys around and the Premier League will be happy to have him. (The Set Pieces).

“He’s our best player and one of the best centre backs in Germany,”
“I think Jerome Boateng is the best [centre back] in the league but I think he (Matip) comes straight after or even level with him.”

Going by that praise, Liverpool supporters can be assured that they have agreed a top top signing. The Reds have had constant defensive concerns this season. Someone as highly rated as Matip can provide the much needed stability to Jurgen Klopp’s back line.
The 24-year-old star is not only solid at the back but also effective in the attack. This season, in 33 games, Matip has scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists (Transfermarkt).
