Liverpool’s £36m new boy experiences first training session ahead of pre-season tour

This summer transfer window has already started well for the club despite being just a few weeks in.

The start of the month saw the Reds confirm the signing of French centre-back Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig.

At a price of £36million, the 22-year-old is likely to form a strong partnership with Virgil van Dijk in defence.

This week saw Konaté join up with his new teammates for the first time since signing for the club.

Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp are currently in Austria for the start of their pre-season preparations.

Konaté took part in his first-ever training session with the squad yesterday and posted a great picture to Twitter…

As you can see, Konaté shared a little insight after his first training session with the Reds.

The past few weeks Konaté has shown a huge amount of support for the Reds and his new signing.

The Frenchman has plastered his social media with support for the club, making for an exciting addition.

Liverpool fans are evidently happy about him joining, with over 400 comments underneath the above post.

Next season will be huge for the club, with them aiming for a strong response to the troubles of the last campaign.

The club failed to retain their title and were close to missing out on Champions League football.

However, there is no denying that the club are more than ready to make a comeback this season.

matchday.
