Liverpool have completed the signing of striker Iago Aspas from Celta Vigo, the club confirmed on Sunday.

Aspas, 25, who scored 12 goals for Celta last season as they successfully avoided relegation, has passed a medical and signed for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £7.7 million (nine million euros, $12 million).

He becomes Liverpool's third close season signing after Manchester City defender Kolo Toure and Luis Alberto from Sevilla.
