Allen completes Liverpool move
Liverpool Football Club are delighted to announce that midfielder Joe Allen has today completed his transfer from Swansea City.
The Wales international signed a long-term contract after passing a medical at Melwood.
After finalising the deal, Allen told Liverpoolfc.com: "I feel incredible. Everyone knows the history of this club, it's a massive club, and I'm delighted to have joined.
"The passion that people here have for football is something I share and I want to be part of that.
"I'm looking forward to being part of some great years ahead for Liverpool Football Club."
The 22-year-old becomes our second summer signing following the arrival of Fabio Borini.
Brendan Rodgers said: "I'm absolutely delighted that Joe has made the decision to come with us on this journey.
"Joe is a player whose profile will fit perfectly with the ideas of this group. His ability to control and dominate the ball is an important ingredient in our attempt to gain success on the field.
"Joe has had a fantastic education at Swansea City and will now begin the next chapter in his exciting career, and I wish him all the very best in what I'm sure will be a long and distinguished career here at Liverpool."
