Liverpool finally wrap up Iago Aspas signing


Liverpool have finally completed the long awaited signing of striker Iago Aspas from Celta Vigo. The deal hit a last minute hitch as the player's agent demanded a huge cut of the estimated 10 million Euro transfer fee.

Liverpool confirmed on their website that a deal for the Spanish player had finally been completed, and became their third signing of the summer alongside Luis Alberto and Kolo Toure: "The deal with Celta Vigo is now complete and the 25-year-old has penned a long-term contract after passing a medical at Melwood.


Aspas scored 12 goals and claimed seven assists during 34 appearances for relegation-threatened Celta last term.


The Spanish star can play through the middle or out wide and represents the club’s third piece of business this summer following the deal in principle for Man City defender Kolo Toure and the signing this weekend of Luis Alberto from Sevilla."
