Liverpool's latest defensive recruit Ozan Kabak is fulfilling a 'childhood dream' after making deadline day move from Schalke

Ozan Kabak said it's 'a dream come true' to sign for childhood club Liverpool, after he spent his first day at the club training centre on Tuesday following his deadline day loan from Schalke.

Jurgen Klopp was busy on deadline day as he desperately sought out defensive recruitments following the long-term injuries to Virgin van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez.

The Liverpool manager signed Preston centre-back Ben Davies worth around £2million before moving for the 20-year-old Turkish international.
