Liverpool have completed the transfer of Swiss international Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke, following their relegation at the end of last season.
The 26-year-old signed a long-term contract with the beaten Champions League finalists on Friday, and told the club's website: “I’m very happy to be here. It’s a huge club with big history, big players and a fantastic coach. So I’m really glad and happy to be here.
“As a player you always want to be on the biggest stage in football. A few years ago I wanted to come too but it didn’t happen. I’m really happy that now I’m finally here.
