London Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Mohamed Salah's signing is exciting, as the English Premier League giants strive for Champions League action next season.
Egypt winger Salah left AS Roma on Thursday in a deal reportedly worth 34 million pounds ($54 million AUD).

The 25-year-old, who scored 15 goals for Roma last season, signed a five-year deal, Liverpool said.
"I will give 100 per cent and give everything for the club. I really want to win something for this club," Salah told Liverpool's website.
Klopp said Salah, who will wear the club's No 11 shirt, will add pace and attacking bite to his side.
"Mohamed has the perfect mix of experience and potential - this is a really exciting signing for us," Klopp said.
"Most important though, for us, is that he is hungry, willing and eager to be even better and improve further," Klopp said.
"He believes in what we are trying to do here at Liverpool and is extremely keen to be part of it."
Salah joined Chelsea in 2014 but played just six matches before being farmed out on loan, eventually joining Roma.
Klopp said he had no doubt he would fit in.
"He knows the Premier League, he has pedigree in the Champions League and he is one of the most important players for his country," he said.
"His record in Italy has been outstanding and he possesses qualities that will enhance our team and squad."
Salah's fee matches the figure Liverpool spent bringing Sadio Mane from Southampton last summer and is just short of the club record fee of STG35 million pounds they paid Newcastle for Andy Carroll in 2011.
