Ex- Southampton player Dejan Lovren expresses his amazement in Liverpool by saying that his transfer is a 'dream come true.' He is currently the most expensive defender in Liverpool history, after getting paid £20 million or $33 million for the transfer.

"It's a dream come true. I'm happy and glad to be here. I'm proud and can't wait to start. I know we have millions and millions of supporters - Liverpool is more than a club.

Lovren is also a player from Croatia.

"After I played at Anfield last season, I said to myself: "One day I hope I'll be able to play here for Liverpool". The fans will know from the first minute that I'm a player that will give 100 per cent on the pitch."

"I played there last season in front of the crowd singing "You'll Never Walk Alone". That is something very special for every player, every sportsman and every fan. I can't wait to get started.

The person who held the position of being the most expensive defender in Liverpool was Mamadou Sakho from Paris St Germain. They paid him £18.6 million.

"I'm a player that will give 100 per cent and I want to show that to the supporters because they deserve to see players who give 100 per cent. I know it is going to be something special to play in front of the fans at Anfield and I can't wait.

'We have spoken a little bit,' said the Croatia international. 'Liverpool have already bought five players, so you can see the club has big ambitions to carry on and not stop here. Of course, I want to be part of the club's ambitions.

"I like his style, it's amazing and quite similar to Southampton. Their games last year were great, particularly the win at St Mary's. Liverpool play amazing football so I can't wait to join up with the team. It is a privilege to be here."
