Takumi Minamino will follow Virgil van Dijk's path and make his Liverpool bow against Everton in the FA Cup... but while he may have a fringe role for the rest of the season, he can be a key part of Jurgen Klopp's plan to deliver sustained success at Anfield

-
  • Takumi Minamino has joined Liverpool for £7.25m from Red Bull Salzburg 
  • He impressed Jurgen Klopp playing against Liverpool in the Champions League 
  • His role is viewed in the long-term but he will have soon chances to stake a claimTakumi Minamino looks set to follow in the footsteps of none other than Virgil van Dijk by making his Liverpool debut in an FA Cup match at Anfield against Everton.
    In the short-term and long-term, Jurgen Klopp will be hoping that the similarities don't end there; Van Dijk scored a late winner for Liverpool on his first appearance and if Minamino replicates that in what will be a rotated side on Sunday, it will be quite the introduction.

Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign.
