Assistant coach Pep Lijnders believes new signing Thiago Alcantara will “improve all the other players” in Liverpool’s squad.
The 29-year-old enjoyed a fruitful debut in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Chelsea after coming on as a second-half substitute, despite giving away a penalty.
Speaking before Wednesday’s EFL Cup clash against Lincoln City, Lijnders explained how Thiago would have a ‘direct and indirect’ impact on his teammates.
