Liverpool Football Club have today completed the signing of Spanish forward Luis Alberto from Sevilla, subject to international clearance.
The 20-year-old, who can play anywhere across the attacking line, has penned a long-term contract after passing a medical at Melwood.
He spent the 2012-13 campaign on loan at Barcelona B, where he notched an impressive 11 goals - and was devastating with his creativity, providing 17 assists in 38 appearances.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers said: "We are all delighted that Luis has decided to join Liverpool.
"He has the correct footballing profile and mentality to be a Liverpool player.
"I look forward to working with him to develop his talent and he joins a group of young exciting players at our club."
The Spaniard has represented his country at three different age levels. He has turned out for the U18s, U19s and made his U21s bow against Belgium in February.

We are finally doing some good business it appears. shame we need to grow are talent rather than buy them (established stars) give it a couple of years when these players are 21-23 and i think we'll have a competitive squad (coutiniho, Sterling, Ibe, suso, alberto, wisdom, robinson, yesil, alberto) some really promosing young stars in the making!

Where does Alberto actually play? Some sources say he's a striker, some say he's a forward, some say he's a midfielder? Does anyone actually know?

From what I've read, he can play as an attacking midfielder, a false No. 10, a striker, and slightly out wide. There is a good chance we could see him as much in the middle of the park, as out wide and up top.

We have paid a lot of money for a player that hasn't plate top flight football.
Would we have been better going for Ince?
On the other hand buying players from top teams like barca or barca b. (on loan)
At least he might have the confidence and he winning mentality that we lack.
Hope he does well because for 7mil. I can't see him being used in the reserves

Just hope we can keep them until they all blossom at LFC! Here's a nice link: Luis Alberto
