Liverpool have this evening completed the signings of Brazilian striker Vitor Flora and Spanish winger Albert Riera. Flora arrives at Anfield on a free transfer from Botafogo and Riera has completed his £8 million move from La Liga side Espanyol after weeks of speculation over his future.
Flora, 18, has an Italian passport and consequently didn't need a work permit to move to Liverpool. Meanwhile, Riera has finally completed his £8 million move from Espanyol after completing the formalities of his move today. The former Manchester City midfielder has been signed by Rafa Benitez in order to fix his left-side of midfield problems.
Although I have never seen Flora play, I have heard many good things about the young Brazilian. Obviously the Liverpool fans will be hoping he proves to be a superb signing by Benitez but only time will tell. On the Riera deal, I personally don't rate him but, who knows he may prove to be a decent buy by Benitez. Stay tuned to Football Corner for all the latest news on this deadline day.
