Star Liverpool forward Luis Suarez shed some light on the discussions he held with Sebastian Coates before the center back completed his transfer to Anfield.
According to Suarez, his fellow Uruguayan was already well aware of the club's history and reputation, but was curious to hear about how the club operated off of the pitch.
Speaking candidly to LFC.tv, Suarez expanded upon their conversations saying, "The things I told [Coates] were about stuff about behind the scenes at the club — he already knew about everything else.
"Liverpool is one of the biggest and best clubs in Europe, and he knows that well enough himself."
Suarez went on to comment about how he feels Coates will fit in with his new club.
"He is coming to a team where he can really develop as an individual," Suarez said. "He is still very young and has a lot to learn, but there are some highly-experienced players here who can help him a lot with that.
"He is aware of that and he is happy to learn and help the team as much as he can."
The Reds had to overcome interest from several clubs, most notably Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, in order to sign Coates following the young defender's dominant Copa America tournament.
Coates, who only made it as far as the bench for Saturday's loss to Stoke City, may be in line for a start this upcoming week as the Reds have a midweek Carling Cup match against Brighton sandwiched by Premier League fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves.
