Liverpool fans are now hoping to sign Japanese forward Shinji Kagawa today, and it’s easy to understand why.

Liverpool have announced on Thursday that Jurgen Klopp has signed a three-year contract with the club worth £15m to replace Rodgers at Anfield Helm.

Klopp, 44, will be working with the Reds until the next transfer window opens in January, but already some Liverpool supporters are expressing their wish-list for the next arrival at the club, that is Borussia Dortmund midfielder Shinji Kagawa.

Already, Kagawa to #LFC rumours start. I’d be surprised if the player wanted the move; very happy in BuLi again after PL mistreatment at Utd

Wonder if Kagawa’s mind is on his January move to Liverpool?!?
