‘They all told me’: Fabrizio Romano says he’s been told Liverpool have a ‘special’ player on their hands now

Fabrizio Romano has named Wataru Endo to Liverpool as the funniest transfer of the summer.

Speaking on the Here We Go Podcast, Romano shared the details of how he managed to break this story before anyone else, and he says that even he was surprised by the Japan international’s move to England.

As we all know, Endo wasn’t a household name before his move to Merseyside, and while many didn’t know much about the 30-year-old when this story broke, Romano says he was immediately told that Endo is a special player who will fit right in at Liverpool.

Endo is special

Romano shared what he’s been told about Endo.

“I want to mention Endo to Liverpool, it was really funny because after the Caicedo story I wanted to bring news on the Liverpool midfield. I got the story about Endo and I was really surprised. They told me about Endo and they all told me it was a surprising move, but Liverpool will be signing a special player, he is a fighter, a super professional player, amazing in the dressing room in terms of relationship with the teammates, so Endo to Liverpool was really funny because I was not expecting that move,” Romano said.

Exciting

This is very exciting to hear.

Usually you hear these types of stories about young players who are just coming through, but Endo is a 30-year-old who doesn’t have a massive profile.

The midfielder hasn’t been in the spotlight in recent years, but, by the sounds of it, he’s been slowly plugging away and making a real name for himself over in Germany.

Endo could end up being a brilliant signing for the Reds.

‘I’ll tell you what’: Darren Bent shocked after hearing news coming out of Liverpool this weekend

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has been handed a big £100,000 fine and an extra one-match ban after his sending off.

The Reds defender was hoping to just miss the Aston Villa game after being shown a red against Newcastle. The Dutchman berated officials as he left the pitch at the time and it’s now come back to bite him after he admitted a charge.

And according to TalkSPORT’s Darren Bent, the FA have now set a dangerous precedent.

Darren Bent questions FA logic behind Virgil van Dijk fine and ban

Speaking live on on TalkSPORT’s Drive show with Andy Goldstein last night, Bent was quick to bring up the Van Dijk story.

And while he didn’t denounce the punishment as unfair, Bent did question the severity of it and questioned whether that means going forward, most red cards will be met with similar bans and fines.

“I’ll tell you what they have done now though. They’ve set a precedent. That means that next time someone gets sent off and kicks off or loses it a bit, the punishment’s going to have to be the same isn’t it? £100,000 fine,” Bent said.

Van Dijk will now miss the next Liverpool game which sees them take on Wolves next weekend.
