The versatile forward explained that moving to Anfield was always his favoured option and expects to adapt successfully in any role Brendan Rodgers provides for him

Iago Aspas is confident he will settle in England after making the ‘easy choice’ to join Liverpool from La Liga side Celta Vigo.

The versatile forward signed a long-term contract with Brendan Rodgers’ side on Sunday and joins fellow Spanish attacker Luis Alberto and Cote d’Ivoire international defender Kolo Toure in moving to Anfield.

“It was an easy choice. It wasn’t a tough decision at all,” Aspas told the club’s official website.

“I’m really happy to have come to a big club like this one. Having weighed up all my options for this window, a massive club like Liverpool was always my first choice.”

The 25-year-old played across the front line and recorded 12 goals and 11 assists from 34 Liga appearances last season as Celta Vigo finished one point above the relegation zone. Aspas also netted 23 times in the Segunda Division the previous year when the club won promotion to the Spanish top flight.

“I am a quick and skilful player. Together we will achieve a lot of success,” he continued.

“I’ve not had the chance to talk with the manager at any length just yet but I think that good players can slot into any role and not just one set position.

“I don’t know a huge amount but I’ve learned things from watching them on TV and of course I know all about the last two Champions League finals having seen them live on TV.”

The 25-year-old Spanish striker has signed a long-term contract with Brendan Rodgers’ side after completing a medical

Liverpool have completed the signing of Iago Aspas from Celta Vigo.

The 25-year-old striker has signed a long-term contract with Brendan Rodgers’ side after completing a medical, and the move is now only subject to international clearance.

Aspas scored 12 goals and made 11 assists in 34 La Liga appearances for Celta Vigo last season as the club finished a point above the relegation zone.

The Spaniard is Liverpool’s third arrival this summer after the club agreed a deal to sign Kolo Toure from Manchester City on a free transfer on July 1, and Luis Alberto, whose move from Sevilla was completed on Saturday.

Liverpool are also on the verge of completing a deal for Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

The Belgian stopper has been the subject of intense speculation in recent weeks, and looks set for a move to Anfield, but his agent insists the deal has not been completed

Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has not signed for Liverpool yet, according to the player’s agent Guy Vandermissen, but he remains hopeful the deal will still go ahead.

Mignolet has played over 100 games for Sunderland since joining in 2010 from Belgian club Sint-Truiden, and Vandermissen believes Liverpool would be a big step up for the Belgian international.

“We hope that there can be a deal and he can go to Liverpool,” he said.

“If you go from Sunderland to Liverpool it is a big step forward. You have to make decisions at certain times.”

Mignolet has played for Belgium 13 times, but is currently behind Chelsea’s on-loan Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order for the national team.

But Vandermissen doesn’t believe the lack of European football will affect Mignolet’s chances for Belgium.

“When you play Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal every week, this is European football, so what is the problem?” he added.
