Suarez signs for Liverpool

Liverpool have completed the signing of Uruguay forward Luis Suarez on a five-and-a-half-year contract.

The 24-year-old passed a medical on Monday and completed the final details on the paperwork after the Reds agreed a deal with Ajax worth up to £22.8m on Friday.
Suarez, who scored 111 goals in 159 matches for the Dutch side, will wear the iconic number-seven shirt made famous by the likes of Kevin Keegan and current manager Kenny Dalglish.

Club Record

The fee is a club record for Liverpool, surpassing the £20m fee for Fernando Torres in the summer of 2007, but it is not likely to stand for long.
Newcastle striker Andy Carroll is undergoing a medical at the club's Melwood training ground and should he pass that his transfer will cost about £35m.
The cost of those two signings was set to be offset somewhat however by the £50m they will receive from Chelsea when Torres completes his expected move to Stamford Bridge on what has been a dramatic final day of the January window for the Merseysiders.
