Emre Can on his move to Liverpool today:
The midfielder credited the former Liverpool defender and ex-Leverkusen coach Sami Hyypia with a major part in his development following his arrival at Anfield. Can added: “He helped me a lot. I came to Leverkusen as a very young player and didn’t have many Bundesliga games back then. I wasn’t well known. He trusted in me, and because I performed well in training he gave me the opportunity to play and made me a starting player.
“He told me that he did not care about my age, he simply decided on the player’s skills as to whether he would play or not. I have to thank him a lot for his trust in me.”
