With Liverpool in advanced negotiations to bring Olympiakos full-back Kostas Tsimikas to Anfield, we get the inside track on the Greek international. Themis Kessaris, managing editor of Sport24, joins Guy Clarke from Athens to give the lowdown on the left-back. From how he will be the perfect deputy to Andy Robertson, how a spell in Holland with Gini Wijnaldum's brother and Pedro Chirivella put him on Michael Edwards' radar, and why he turned down other moves around Europe to seal the deal with the Reds. Enjoy.
