The club sorted out the formalities on Friday and officially acquired defender Jose Enrique for about 6 million euros.

The left-back signed a long-term contract.

"This is one of the happiest days of my life," said the Spaniard. "I am joining one of the most powerful teams not only in England, but in the whole world. So, I am extremely pleased.

This is the first time that a club of this caliber has made me an offer, so I couldn't pass it up. I can't wait to step out onto the field against the great fans of this team."

Enrique became the fifth newcomer to Liverpool this summer after midfielders Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam, and Stewart Downing, and goalkeeper Doni.
