Arthur Melo says Liverpool’s stature in world football made their move an easy one to accept as he joined on a season-long loan from Juventus. Arthur talked up the history of his new club telling Liverpoolfc.com
Arthur Melo said: “I’m really, really happy to be here wearing this great shirt with this famous badge that represents so much in world football, it’s a dream. We talked a lot, and our ideas and visions were a good fit so I’m sure it was the right choice. I’m really happy and highly motivated to continue living my dream on the pitch and giving my all in a Liverpool shirt. Liverpool have a wonderful history in football. I’ve played against Liverpool, I know what it feels like to be in the stadium with the fans behind them. I was with the opposition and now I’m on the right side so I’m really excited. It’s a massive club with a great manager, great players. As I said before, it’s a dream to be here.”
Liverpool feel their strong Brazilian contingent that includes Alisson Becker, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino and goalkeeping coach Claudio Taffarel will help the new arrival settle quickly on Merseyside. The 26-year-old, who will wear the No.29 shirt, could go into the match-day squad on Saturday lunchtime at Goodison Park.
