Greek international left-back Tsimikas joins Reds

 

Liverpool have completed the signing of the left-back Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiakos, with the 24-year-old Greece international moving to the Premier League champions on a five-year contract and for a fee believed to be in the region of £11.75m.

“I’m very proud to be here. For me, [it is] the biggest club in the world,” Tsimikas told the club’s website. “I want to achieve our goals. To win the league again and also to win the Champions League.”

Tsimikas, who has three caps for Greece and made 86 appearances for Olympiakos, will serve as a back-up to Andrew Robertson and fill a problem position for Jürgen Klopp, who for some time has deployed James Milner as a fill-in for Robertson whenever the Scotland captain has been absent.
