Former Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has admitted that he was really surprised by Liverpool's decision to sign Georginio Wijnaldum in the summer.
Football Insiderreports that the Sky Sports pundit was left confused as to why Jurgen Klopp had agreed to a £25m move for the former Newcastle United man - when his side already had a number of attacking midfield options.

Speaking ahead of Liverpool's Premier League clash with Leicester City, Carragher commented: "I must admit I don't know why Liverpool signed Wijnaldum. I just didn't know where he would fit in."
The former England international has subsequently been convinced by the 26-year-old who is a regular fixture in Klopp's starting XI. The Dutchman alsoscored a vital goal against Chelsea in the recent league fixture at Anfield.
The midfielder has started 21 of Liverpool's 26 league fixtures, in that time he has six assists andthree goals including the one against Chelsea to his name.
Unfortunately Wijnaldum could not prevent his Liverpool side from suffering a disappointing 3-1 defeat against reigning champions Leicester City, in Monday night's Premier League fixture.
