Reds complete Alberto Moreno deal

Liverpool have completed the signing of Sevilla defender Alberto Moreno.

- Duarte: Could Countinho boost Brazil?
- Delaney: Dier grabs points on Tottenham debut

The 22-year-old left-back becomes Brendan Rodgers' eighth summer signing after a medical at the club's Melwood training ground.

However, Moreno -- who will cost the Merseysiders around 12 million pounds -- was not registered in time to play in Liverpool's Premier League opener against Southampton at Anfield on Sunday.

He told Liverpool's official website: "In my view, Liverpool are the best club in England, and I couldn't waste an opportunity to come and play for them.

"I spoke with Xabi Alonso, Pepe Reina and Alvaro Arbeloa, and they told me this is a spectacular club whose fans follow it in a very special way.

"They all told me I can grow a lot here as a footballer as this is a massive club. I'm very happy to be joining a club as big as Liverpool. I hope to give my best and do all I can to help."
