"Being fortunate enough to be a professional footballer doesn’t mean your reaction to certain things in the game isn’t the same as that of a supporter," Jordan Henderson told the Reds' official website ahead of the clash against Arsenal.
"It’s often maybe overlooked that before any of us fell in love with playing, we all were fans. That never leaves you. I was a supporter before I was a player and I’ll still be a supporter when I finish.
"So, when Liverpool announce a new signing, we in the dressing room aren’t that much different. We get excited – we get caught up in the anticipation – we look forward to seeing them and hearing them for the first time. It does bring fresh energy and a lift.
"And as you know, since the start of this season we have welcomed three new faces to the club. Kostas joined first and we got to know him during pre-season. Thiago and Diogo are of course more recent arrivals.
"All three are going to be massively important to us and we are buzzing as a team to welcome them in. We need them and we are delighted they chose to come to us."
Liverpool have added three players to the squad during this transfer window so far - Kostas Tsimikas, Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota. All newcomers have already made their debuts for the club.
Thiago had a sensational 45-minute cameo in a 2-0 win over Chelsea in the Premier League, Kostas played the whole 90 minutes of the Carabao Cup third-round tie against Lincoln City while Diogo entered the pitch 57 minutes into the game in the 7-2 cup victory.
