Centre-back Joel Matip says Liverpool's summer signings have settled in well.

The Reds' four signings, all midfield players, have helped the club reach fourth place in the Premier League table after eight games, just two points off leaders Tottenham.

"All of the new players have settled in well," Matip told Liverpool's website. "Dom [Dominik Szoboszlai] and Macca [Alexis Mac Allister] have played almost the whole time and they have done it brilliantly. You can see that, both playing with the ball and also against the ball, their adaptation has been great.

"OK, they did that in their old clubs too, but they have never looked like they're really new here.

"Wataru [Endo] and Ryan [Gravenberch] came in later but have already shown that they can help us too.

"All the new players have done brilliantly so far and I am really looking forward to seeing them playing."

On this being his eighth season on Merseyside, the 32 year-old said: "The manager has tried to adapt our style during my time here.

"It's not the same football we played six or seven years ago, so he's adapting - but he's still trying to do it his way and I think this is working quite well."
