Last updated : 05 September 2016 By LFC Online

After the long wait for the new main stand to be completed, the Reds will take on Leicester City at Anfield on Saturday and t he 25-year-old centre-back is hoping to be involved.

"I've been waiting the whole pre-season to make my first steps at the stadium," he told the official site.

"I think Liverpool is famous for its stadium, for its atmosphere. It will be a great atmosphere and I'll be happy when I can play there.

"To hear 'You'll Never Walk Alone' for the first time at the stadium will be a special moment and I will enjoy it."

"At Dortmund I like You'll Never Walk Alone. You can compare them a little bit to Liverpool but it's not the same. 

"Dortmund, sometimes they sing, but they're not really famous for this, Liverpool is famous for this song and the atmosphere at the stadium. It will be something else. 

"It's a nice song and with the atmosphere, it will be good to hear."
