Liverpool have brought in another Uruguayan to the club. Nacional defender Sebastian Coates follows countryman Luis Suarez at Anfield after signing a long-term contract.

The 20-year-old told his new club’s official website: “Luis told me a lot about Liverpool – but about the fans more than anything else. He told me how passionate they are about the club and how supportive they are.

“I saw that myself on Saturday when the fans really got behind their side against Bolton and that was great to see.

“Luis also told me about the history and the tradition of the club and now I feel very happy and excited to be here because I have left one great club in Nacional and signed for another great club with a fantastic history.

“To come to such a big club alongside a fellow countryman is very important for me. I know Luis will help me settle in, we have the same cultures and customs so having him around will help me a lot.”

He added: “You always want to win everything as a player but in my case I know I have to take things step by step. I have to train hard and be ready to get out onto the field and play.

“I want to win as much as I can in a Liverpool shirt and that means the league title and any cup competitions we take part in. We have to set our sights high.”

He concluded: “I know that when I do get the chance to play I have to perform to the best of my ability. I’m really happy to be here. When I arrived at the stadium on Saturday I was treated very well by everybody and I hope to repay all those good wishes in the future.”
