Liverpool: Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure has officially joined Liverpool from Manchester City on a free transfer on Tuesday, the Merseyside club announced.
The centre-back's deal with City expired on Monday and the 32-year-old, whose move had been planned for some time, completed the formalities when the new transfer window opened, according to Yahoo Sports.
Liverpool may not have been crowned champions of England for more than 20 years but their tally of five European Cup wins is an English record and they remain one of the country's most famous clubs.
"This means a lot to me. Firstly, I'm joining one of the best clubs in England," Toure told liverpoolfc.com.
"When I left City, it was important for me to stay in England because it's the best league - and to join Liverpool is massive for me.
"I chose Liverpool because of the history and because of the spirit of the team and the people here."
