The player was unveiled at Melwood on Thursday.

Liverpool announced their third signing of the summer today in the form of Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen on a long-term contract.

The 20-year-old is a versatile player who sees himself as a central midfielder but can also play in defence and on the left side of midfield.

In an interview with the club’s official website, the former Bayern Munich midfielder said he learnt a lot from the players at the German champions.

He said: “There was Franck Ribery, who I got along with very well and who I have spoken with a lot. He obviously became European Footballer of the Year, hence there is a lot to learn from him on the training pitch. In my position especially, I also learned a lot from Bastian Schweinsteiger, Javi Martinez and Luiz Gustavo. They helped my development.”

The midfielder was officially unveiled at Melwood today as a Liverpool player. Below are some pictures of the unveiling of what Brendan Rodgers calls ‘an exciting talent’ from Liverpool’s official twitter account.
