Alexander Doni says a chat with John Arne Riise persuaded him to sign for Liverpool. Doni was a team-mate of Riise at Roma and sought the former Red's advice when he first heard of Kenny Dalglish's interest in him. "I spoke a lot about Liverpool with John and he told me what a special club it was," said the goalkeeper. "He spoke about the supporters, the way Liverpool play and this is a very big challenge for me. "I couldn't turn down the opportunity to come to the Premier League, especially signing for Liverpool which is a huge club in Europe."
