Left-back becomes Reds' first summer signing after joining from Greek champions Olympiacos

Champions Liverpool have completed their first signing of the summer with the acquisition of defender Kostantinos Tsimikas from Olympiacos.

Tsimikas has agreed a long-term deal with the Reds after moving for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old left-back, who has been capped three times by Greece, has made 46 Super League appearances for Olympiacos.

Last season he contributed five assists as he helped his side retain the 2019/20 title with a winning margin of 22 points.

"I'm very happy, I'm very proud to be here," Tsimikas, who will wear the No 21 shirt, told the club's official website. "For me, [it's] the biggest club in the world. It’s an honour to be here and I will give my best."
