Liverpool’s new goalkeeper is tempting fate with ambitious squad number

Liverpool has a new goalkeeper to welcome this afternoon.

The club has confirmed that Jurgen Klopp has put some pressure on Simon Mignolet with the signing of Loris Karius from Mainz. https://twitter.com/LFC/status/735140056243929093 The 22-year-old has signed for a fee understood to be just under £5million, and the former Manchester City academy product has gone for an ambitious squad number. https://twitter.com/LFCZA/status/735140561523507200 Simon Mignolet is not expected to lose his position yet as the club's established first choice netminder, but Karius is following in some interesting footsteps by taking up the famous number one jersey. Not since Jerzy Dudek has Liverpool had a player wear the number one jersey who has come anywhere close to being the first name on the team-sheet. And when you see who has worn it for the Reds in the last 10 years, it's no surprise. https://twitter.com/_ChrisBascombe/status/735138476606271495 https://twitter.com/_ChrisBascombe/status/735138577609330688 https://twitter.com/_ChrisBascombe/status/735138808539303937 Good luck, you may need it, despite your good looks. https://twitter.com/hadiyaapopstar/status/735141221576921090 https://twitter.com/Onomahh/status/735139784155398144
