Liverpool have sealed the transfer of Kolo Toure from Manchester City. The Ivory Coast international completed his switch after signing a deal at Liverpool's Melwood training ground.

The 32-year-old said: "This means a lot to me. Firstly, I'm joining one of the best clubs in England.

"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."
