Liverpool confirm the signing of Marko Grujic from Red Star Belgrade on social media
Liverpool have unveiled Marko Grujic as their first signing of the January transfer window.
The 19-year-old has put pen to paper on a long-term Liverpool deal after the Reds agreed a fee with Red Star Belgrade for the midfielder in December.
The Serbian teenager passed a medical earlier this week before Liverpool finalised their first signing of the month in a reported £5.1m deal.
The five-time European champions posted the above photo on Instagram, whilst the Reds also kept their Twitter followers updated on their latest transfer activity.
