Liverpool: Stewart Downing has completed his move to Liverpool from Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee.
Having agreed personal terms and completed a medical, the 26-year-old becomes the club's fourth signing alongside Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam and Alexander Doni, who completed his switch from Roma earlier on Friday.
The length of Downing's contract has not been announced but has been described by Liverpool as a 'long-term deal'.
Downing moved from Middlesbrough to Aston Villa in 2009 for a fee of £ 12 million and has revealed his aim to secure silverware at Anfield.
"It would be nice to win something. I'm sure that's the same objective for everyone, not just me personally," Downing told the club's official website.
"My aim is to be in the team, to play well and give something back because the manager has pushed the boat out to get me here, so hopefully I can give him something back."
Downing concedes he was always vying for a move to Liverpool upon hearing their interest but admits he was made to wait due to the transfer negotiations.
"It's been a long time coming and I've had to wait a few weeks, but I'm really pleased to be here," said Downing.
"With the tradition, the manager and the players they have here, there was a big temptation to come here and once I knew of their interest, there was only one place I wanted to go."
