First pictures as Liverpool unveil Thiago Alcantara signing at Anfield

New Liverpool signing Thiago Alcantara has been pictured wearing the club's new shirt for the first time after completing his move from Bayern Munich.

The 29-year-old has signed a four-year deal after sealing his move to join the Premier League champions.

The Reds agreed a deal worth an initial £20 million with a further £5m in add-ons for the playmaker earlier this week and Thiago officially put pen to paper on Friday after many months of speculation.

The Spain international becomes Jurgen Klopp's second summer signing, following Kostas Tsimikas to Merseyside after the full-back was signed from Olympiacos in August.

After completing his move, Thiago got his first glimpse of the famous 'This is Anfield' sign above the tunnel steps as he was unveiled by his new club.

The midfielder, who will wear the No.6 shirt, also got to grips with the new Nike-sponsored shirts for the 2020/21 season as he was photographed inside the club's iconic dressing room.

Thiago spent seven years with the Bundesliga giants, winning 16 trophies since arriving from Barcelona and can now look forward to a new chapter of his career in England.
