Liverpool announced on Tuesday that they had completed the signing of highly-rated South American Anderson Arroyo from Fortaleza CEIF.
It was World Football Index that first broke the story towards the end of last month.
Arroyo, who is a Colombia Under-20 international, has previously spent time with the Reds on trial, and has now been confirmed as a new signing.
Arroyo is currently unavailable to represent Liverpool due to work permit issues, however, and he has been sent immediately on loan to Spanish outfit Real Mallorca.
The defender will spend 18 months with Mallorca ahead of returning to Anfield, where he will hope to fight for a first-team position.
Liverpool have struggled to find a consistent performer at left-back in recent years, and Arroyo could well develop into a future star for the Premier League club.
Liverpool’s fans have been reacting to the news, and whilst some are looking forward to Arroyo’s development, others are not sure whether they will see him again.
