Alberto Moreno completes Liverpool move

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Sevilla defender Alberto Moreno for a reported £12 million. The Spanish international has signed a long-term deal at Anfield, and departs his boyhood club for the first time.

He'll no doubt be looking to break into the first team immediately, with Brendan Rodgers' side having been perilously short on left-backs after José Enrique picked up a serious injury last season.

Before completing his move to the Reds, Moreno had reportedly been subject to interest from other top European clubs including Manchester United. He's regarded as one of Spain's most promising defensive talents at present, and has already made three appearances for the Spanish national team after being handed his maiden cap by Vicente del Bosque last year.

His signing is the latest in a busy summer for Liverpool, with Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Dejan Lovren having already joined from Southampton, Lazar Marković from Benfica, Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen, Divock Origi from Lille (albeit with the Frenchman staying out on loan) and Moreno's compatriot Javier Manquillo from Atlético Madrid.
