Liverpool have signed Ireland captain Robbie Keane from Tottenham Hotspur for £19 million last night.
The 28-year-old striker, who spent six years at the London club and is Ireland's all-time highest goalscorer with 33 goals, has signed a four-year contract with the Anfield club.
"I would like to place on record my thanks to the board, players and fans of Tottenham for the past six years, which were the best and most enjoyable of my career to date," Keane said.
"I will never forget them. I would specifically like to thank chairman Daniel Levy for understanding, that, as a fan, joining Liverpool is a lifelong dream of mine and one I couldn't let pass me by.
"I hope one day the Spurs fans, who have been brilliant to me, can understand this too.
The former Leeds player, who spent a brief period at Inter after spells at Wolves and Coventry , is Liverpool's fifth major pre-season signing along with David Ngog, Diego Cavalieri, Philipp Degen and Andrea Dossena.
