Spanish pair Alvaro Arbeloa and Francisco Manual Duran have
completed their moves to Liverpool.
Arbeloa, formerly of Real Madrid, has joined following an
impressive season with Deportivo La Coruna.
The 24-year-old spoke earlier on Wednesday of his surprise to join
Liverpool and is hoping his move to England proves the right
decision.
"Until yesterday I wasn't sure whether I was going to leave or
not," Arbeloa told the club's official website.
"My agent told me the deal was very advanced and I was then told
that the deal had been reached between both clubs.
"For me this is a beautiful challenge and I hope everything goes
well. It's a huge leap for me."
Arbeloa is joined at Anfield by teenage compatriot Duran and the
youngster is thrilled with his dream move.
"It's a unique opportunity and I couldn't let it go by," he
stated.
"To play for Liverpool is a dream for me and now I only desire to
fight to play finally for the club."
