Liverpool have completed the signing of Spain left-back Alberto Moreno from Sevilla for a £12m transfer fee.
The Reds reached an agreement with the Spanish club earlier this week, subject to the 22-year-old passing a medical.
Moreno said: "Liverpool are the best club in England and I couldn't waste an opportunity to come and play for them."
The 22 year old defender becomes Liverpool's eighth signing this summer, after previous signings in Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Lazar Markovic, Emre Can, Javier Manquillo and Divock Origi
Moreno said he spoke to fellow Spaniards and former Liverpool players Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa before making his decision.
He said: "They all told me I can grow a lot here as a footballer as this is a massive club. I hope to give my best and do all I can to help."
Moreno played 44 games last season helping the club win the Europa League.
He was withdrawn from the team for Tuesday's 2-0 Uefa Super Cup defeat by Real Madrid and said a tearful goodbye to the Sevilla supporters, staff and team-mates after the final whistle in Cardiff.
The Spain international, who has three caps, will now vie with compatriot Jose Enrique at Anfield to become manager Brendan Rodgers's first choice left-back.
