I can't wait to get started.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"As soon as Liverpool showed their interest in me, I was happy and just wanted the deal to go through.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"The gaffer has shown a lot of interest in me and this is a place where I can improve as a player, I think. It's definitely a good opportunity to come here and try to fulfil my potential.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"I've played at Anfield before and know what the atmosphere is all about. It's a great atmosphere and will make me rise to the challenge. I'm really looking forward to it and hopefully it can push me on to putting on good performances."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">It was a problematic position for Brendan Rodgers, especially after shifting to a three man back-line. The Northern Irishman used Jordan Ibe, Lazar Markovic and even Raheem Sterling in the wing-back role and naturally, the trio couldn't do well defensively. Emre Can too was a waste in that position. Moreover, with Glen Johnson's departure and Javier Manquillo's uncertain Liverpool future (not to mention Jon Flanagan's injury), the Reds needed a reliable first choice right back and Clyne would expect to feature as the first choice right back for Rodgers.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">The Liverpool fans were largely happy with the acquisition of the former Crystal Palace player.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Best thing about signing Clyne is Liverpool have finally replaced with quality.
