Luis Alberto revealed he is the ‘happiest man on earth’ after completing his transfer to Liverpool from Sevilla.
The 20-year-old’s move was confirmed this morning, as he became Brendan Rodgers second completed signing of the summer, pending international clearance.
And the Spanish striker said he was over the moon with the move, despite admitting surprise at Liverpool’s interest in him.
‘I feel like I’m in a bubble at the moment,’ he said. ‘For me Liverpool is a top team. I feel like I am dreaming and I want to enjoy it to the full.
‘I feel very excited, I’ve never felt so excited before but I’m very happy. I think I am the happiest man on earth.
‘I was surprised [when Liverpool showed interest in me]. You never expect this to happen to you. But as the deal moved forward, I became very happy and I wanted to come to Liverpool.
‘I hope that between us all we can make this club one of the greatest in the world, once again.’
Reds boss Rodgers said Alberto, who scored 11 goals in 38 appearances on loan at Barcelona B last season, will be a great addition to his squad.
‘We are all delighted that Luis has decided to join Liverpool,’ Rodgers said.
‘He has the correct footballing profile and mentality to be a Liverpool player.
‘I look forward to working with him to develop his talent and he joins a group of young exciting players at our club.’
