Sky Sports News reporter Vinny O'Connor:
"Endo will be a much-needed influence in the Liverpool engine room. He's able to play the holding role and at centre half, but, ostensibly, he's a central midfielder.
Endo has 50 caps for Japan and has been a regular in the centre of Stuttgart's midfield in the Bundesliga for the past three seasons. He's no youngster, though - Endo turned 30 in February.
As for his stats last season, he ranked among the top three Bundesliga midfielders for ball recoveries and ranked highly in passing and tackling metrics, too.
