Liverpool have confirmed that they have reached an agreement to sign Takumi Minamino from Red Bull Salzburg at the turn of the year.
The Japan international had a series of medical tests with the Reds on Wednesday and the move has now been made official by the club.
"We can confirm an agreement has been reached with @redbullsalzburg for the transfer of Takumi Minamino," a tweet from the club's official Twitter account read.
Minamino featured in both of Salzburg's Champions League group stage meetings against Liverpool and he bagged a goal and an assist in the 4-3 defeat at Anfield.
The Reds recently triggered a £7.25m release clause on his Salzburg deal and he has now penned a four-and-a-half year contract with them, which becomes active from January 1.
Liverpool are scheduled to face Everton in the FA Cup third round on January 5 and Minamino has a strong chance of making his debut in the Merseyside derby.
