Liverpool fans will be thrilled with this news, with the Premier League champions signing a quality player that gives them something a little different in the middle of the park.

Despite the Reds running away with the title last season, they could do with being able to vary their game a little more, with Alcantara giving them more spark and creativity from midfield than the likes of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
