Former VfB Stuttgart star Hansi Muller has admitted he was shocked to hear “complete player” Wataru Endo was leaving the Bundesliga side to join Liverpool.
Endo made the move to Anfield last week after Liverpool reacted swiftly to missing out on deals for Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo, with the duo opting to join Chelsea.
The Japan international made his Reds debut during the second half of last weekend’s victory over Bournemouth just hours after the he made the £16m move from Stuttgart, where he was captain.
But back in Germany, Muller, who made over 150 appearances during a seven-year career with Stuttgart, admitted his disappointment at seeing the 30-year-old leave the MHPArena, and paid him a huge compliment.

As per famous German journalist, Christian Falk, the Merseysiders are leading the race to lure the former Ajax man from Bayern. He stated:
“He (Gravenberch) will choose the club that shows him he’ll get playing time. I think Klopp is a very good guy to pursue people, so, at the moment, I would see Liverpool being at the front in this race.”
“If Liverpool get concrete, this transfer could happen really fast.”
