Liverpool have signed England winger Stewart Downing from Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee.
The 26-year-old, who joined Villa from Middlesbrough for an initial fee of £10m in 2009, handed in a transfer request earlier this week.
Downing, capped 27 times by England, has agreed a long-term deal at Anfield.
