Liverpool: Thiago Alcantara transfer weighed up by pundit
Liverpool transfer news is beginning to intensify following the arrival of Greek defender Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiakos. The 24-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Premier League champions in a deal worth a reported £11.7million.
"I'm very happy, I'm very proud to be here. For me, (it's) the biggest club in the world. It's an honour to be here and I will give my best," Tsmikas told the club website.
"The league here, I like a lot. I watch it on the TV and it was always one dream I had from when I was a kid to come to play in this league and to come through.
"With a lot of work and focus on what I do and what the coach (Jurgen Klopp) wants, and every day working hard in training, I can be on the highest level.
"(I want) to achieve (our) goals. To win the league again and also to win the Champions League."
With the summer window open until October, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will be hoping sporting director Michael Edwards can deliver more of his targets.

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing up a move for Sarr this summer.
The 22-year-old put in a number of impressive displays for Watford last season but their relegation to the Championship has raised questions about his future.
He is said to be valued at £40m and has a close relationship with Senegal team-mate Sadio Mane.
Sarr even admitted this week he would love to join Liverpool, although he also open to staying at Watford.
"I'm at the same level of information as everyone else about these transfer rumours. Every day, like everyone else, I receive information like what I'm going to play for Liverpool, Manchester United etc ... But really, for the moment, we have not yet discussed it internally," he told Senegalese publication Sans Limite.

"Liverpool are a really great team, everyone would love to play there.They won the Premier League this year and the Champions League last year. But also there are great teams in the English league. Frankly, I have yet to make a choice. If [he were to leave], I just hope it's to a good team."
Diego Carlos, Sevilla
Klopp is also in the market for a central defender this summer to replace Dejan Lovren, who joined Zenit St Petersburg for £10.9m.
Carlos has been mentioned as a potential target after some fine performances for Sevilla last season.
However, the Spanish side will reportedly only let the 27-year-old leave if an interested club meets his £68m release clause.

White had an excellent season on loan at Leeds as the club won the Championship and secured promotion to the Premier League.
Leeds are keen to sign the centre-back on permanent deal but Liverpool are also said to be interested.
Brighton, though, are reluctant to sell the 22-year-old and are reportedly holding out for offers north of £35m.
