English Premier League club Liverpool on Saturday announced the signing of Switzerland attacking midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri for the upcoming season. Shaqiri underwent a medical on Friday and was Liverpool's third signing of the summer. "I'm very happy to be here. It's a huge club with big history, big players and a fantastic coach," Shaqiri told Liverpool's website adding: "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, he stated further. "I want to improve myself too, I want to be with the best and I want to win titles. That's what I'm here for." Shaqiri was with Stoke City and scored 15 goals in 92 appearances for the Potters, who were relegated from the Premier League last season.
