Adam Lallana has completed his move from Southampton to Liverpool for a fee believed to be £25m.
The move has been on the cards since the end of the Premier League season, with the Reds submitting a £20m offer last month that Southampton rejected.

Brendan Rodgers returned to St. Mary’s with an improved offer for the 26-year-old following the end of England’s World Cup campaign, where Lallana failed to produce his best form and England crashed out of the tournament in the group stages.

Lallana travelled to Anfield for a medical on Friday on the same day that his team-mate Luke Shaw completed a £30m move to Manchester United.
Former Bournemouth playmaker Lallana joins Rickie Lambert at Liverpool following the striker’s move last month.
