Alberto Moreno: Leaving Sevilla for Liverpool very emotional

Sevilla fullback Alberto Moreno admits it's emotional leaving for Liverpool.

The 22-year-old arrived at the club's Melwood training ground on Wednesday to finalise a £12million move to Anfield after Sevilla relented in Liverpool's long pursuit for the left-back.

"I am living a strange situation because I'm leaving the club of my life," Moreno told ABC de Sevilla.

"I was always aware of the two teams (trying) to agree. I never got into that but Sevilla have understood that Liverpool's offer was good and I am going.

"(I have) many feelings together. What happened on the pitch, with the fans, will remain forever etched on me and I could not help but mourn (his departure) because I did not expect it.

"First came the parting with colleagues, then with the fans...all very complicated.

"Liverpool are a great team and of course I'm super-motivated. I hope things go well."
