Liverpool chief Damien Comolli says Stewart Downing is the ideal signing for their strike-force.
The former Aston Villa winger completed his £20 million move yesterday
Comolli told liverpoolfc.tv: "When we have Andy (Carroll) up front, he can put those balls in, but also he's got more than that.
"He is more than a winger, he can do a lot of things. He can link up with Luis Suarez by coming in, he can play on the right and on the left. We look thoroughly into data and statistics before signing players and we really think we are bringing a big, big asset into our team. Maybe his talent is a little bit undervalued in English football, but we know what we are getting - and we are getting a very, very good, efficient footballer.
"He will (excite fans) because he has pace, tricks, a great left foot, he can score, make assists and create a lot of things. He text me last night and said, 'Thank you very much for doing all of this and pursuing it until the end.' I said, 'It's no problem - just pay us back by scoring many goals and giving many assists!'
