We have just confirmed the signing of Georginio Wijnaldum in a £25 million move from Championship side, Newcastle United.
According to the Echo, he passed his medical on Friday afternoon and has agreed a five-year deal with the club. He rejected Tottenham’s interest in favour of a move to Anfield.
He becomes our seventh signing of what is rapidly becoming a busy summer for the club. Joel Matip, Marko Grujic, Loris Karius, Ragnar Klavan, Alex Manninger, and Sadio Mane have all already put pen to paper.
Apparently, we will pay £23 million up front in cash, within up to £2 million more to follow in add-ons over the coming months and years.
