Liverpool have completed the signing of Newcastle United midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
The two sides on Thursday had agreed a fee and Wijnaldum was to undergo a medical "as soon as possible."
Wijnaldum has signed a five-year contract with the Reds and the Liverpool Echo report that they have paid around £23 million up front with an extra £2m in add-ons for the services of the 25-year-old.
He will now head to the United States to join up with Jurgen Klopp's side on their preseason tour, after they flew out in the early hours of Thursday morning.
He told the club's official website: "I'm really excited because Liverpool is a big club with a great history and it's always a dream to play for as big a club as Liverpool."
On working under Klopp, he added: "[He seems] a great man -- from the outside -- because I don't know how he works yet and I have to work with him.
"[But] I always love to watch him, his passion as a coach, I like how he enjoys the game. He gives something back to the group [with his passion] so I look forward to working with him."

The Dutch international joined Newcastle in July 2015 from PSV Eindhoven for £14.5m and went on to score 11 goals in 38 Premier League appearances for the Magpies but could not prevent their relegation to the Championship.
Wijnaldum becomes Liverpool's third signing of the week following defender Ragnar Klavan and goalkeeper Alex Manninger through the door at Anfield.
