With Salzburg impressing in the UEFA Champions League this season, there have been a couple players that caught the eye.
Minamino was a thorn for Liverpool to deal with in the group stages in both their home and away fixtures.
Klopp claims the 24-year-old's ability to be brave on and off the ball was a key factor to what attracted the Reds.
"This is fabulous news, a wonderful signing. We are really, really happy about this," he told the club's official website.
"Our supporters have had the chance to see him close up recently so I don't need to sing too loudly about his qualities as they are already known.
"Takumi is a very quick, very clever player, he finds space between the lines.
"He is brave with the ball but also brave without the ball, a proper team player. He makes the best of himself for the benefit of others."
