  • KLvan headed in from a yard-out to give Liverpool a 2-1 win.

    Liverpool superstars Mohamed Salah and Alisson played influential roles in convincing Estonia defender Ragnar Klavan to head to Serie A.

    Klavan, 32, sealed a £2 million (Dh9.4m) switch to Cagliari on Friday’s transfer deadline day in Italy. This followed a two-season spell, spent largely on the bench, at Anfield.

    “I had offers from several teams, including in other countries, but Cagliari really wanted me,” he explained to Sky Sport Italia.

    “Darijo Srna advised me to come here, as I talked to him via Dejan Lovren. Other Liverpool team-mates like Alisson, Salah and Lucas Leiva all spoke highly of Serie A.

    “I’m certain we’ll do great things here and I am really fired up. The city is wonderful and so are the fans, I can’t wait to get started.”

    Klavan scored once in 39 Premier League run-outs.
