“I have aspired to wear this shirt because I was used to seeing FC Porto win over the years.
“I hope everything goes well and I want to give my best.”
Teixeira moved to Liverpool from Sporting Lisbon in 2012, but he failed to make an impact in the first-team, and made just seven appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s side last season.
