Wataru Endo receives his dream shirt number at Liverpool.
Endo Wataru who made a move from Stuttgart in the German Bundestag has been given number 3, his dream shirt number at Anfield. The defensive midfielder bought on £20m fee from Stuttgart put pen to paper on a long-term deal with the Merseysiders. He becomes Jurgen Klopp’s third signing of the summer.
Endo’s arrival also brings to an end a hugely frustrating search for a more natural defensive midfielder. The Reds were previously interested in Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia – only for both players to complete moves for Chelsea.
He takes on the shirt number previously occupied by Brazilian midfielder Fabinho which is 3. The number remained free since Fabinho made a move to Saudi champions Al-ittihad
Endo expressed why he was so much into the number 3. As quoted by Liverpool’s official website, he said: “Number three is my number because I played as No.3 in Stuttgart and when I was playing in Japan, also. I love this number! I cannot wait to play with this number here.”
Liverpool’s home shirt for the 2023/2024 campaign pays homage to Bill Shankly and the legendary Reds manager’s final season in charge at Anfield.
