Takumi Minamino with FA Cup
Minamino scored 11 goals and provided two assists for Liverpool across all competitions last season

Takumi Minamino has signed for Monaco on a four-year deal.

A number of clubs were interested in signing the Englishman, who joined the Reds from Red Bull Salzburg.

Minamino is very happy to be a part of the project.

He was the top scorer in the domestic cup competition for the Reds.

Last week, they said they had agreed to sell him after he made just 11 appearances in the premier league.

Minamino said it was a great joy to join AS Monaco, a club with a great tradition and one of the most recognised in the French league. I am excited to discover my new environment and help the team.

It's difficult to see Taki leave, but it's a great move for him and one he deserves. He is a great player.

He's full of warmth and makes people feel good. It's a manager's dream.

Minamino's departure came after Sadio Mane's move to a German club and after the arrival of a new player in the area.
