Liverpool: John Leoni impresses Arne Slot

Liverpool coach Arne Slot in a press conference spoke about Giovanni Leoni’s impact on the Reds: the Parma defender, paid 35 million euros, immediately impressed him with his maturity despite his very young age.

“He is a nice guy, as most Italians are –he joked -! He has trained with us three times now. If you look at the cost of his transfer, you can expect that he is already quite mature for his age and that is exactly what I have seen”.

“He arrives at only 18 years old and immediately plays with his new teammates as if he has been here longer. It’s impressive when you look at how tall, how fast, how comfortable he is with the ball. There is a reason why we paid the amount we paid, because we see him as a great prospect. He has already had three good training sessions”

“That also says something about the team. If you come to this club, if you come into this team, you feel comfortable right away, because it really is a very good and welcoming group to start your Liverpool” career with.
