Olympique Lyon chief Juninho is delighted with their deal for Liverpool attacker Xherdan Shaqiri.

Shaqiri has joined Lyon in a €5m move plus a further €6m in bonuses.

Juninho said at the midfielder's presentation: "We had been talking to him for a long time. We needed a lane player capable of crashing, he's a player with a lot of experience, he's a champion.

"He will also bring us a lot of things in the locker room. Since our first discussion, he has really shown the desire to come to us. He made an effort and helped us with our discussions with Liverpool, we are happy for that too. We hope he will be in the pro group as soon as possible."
