Liverpool complete signing of Adam Lallana from Southampton

Liverpool completed their second signing of the summer on Tuesday, putting an end to the speculation and confirming that they have indeed inked midfielder Adam Lallana on a transfer from Southampton.

While no terms of the transfer or contract were released, a statement from the club noted that the 26-year-old has signed a "long-term" deal at Anfield.

"I'm so excited for the next chapter of my career, coming to a special club like Liverpool. I'm quite humbled and I just can't wait to get started," Lallana said upon being introduced as a Red.

"Hopefully I can settle in quickly, and I will give it my best throughout the whole time I'm here. I hope I can add something to the team and hopefully we can win trophies while I'm here, because that's why I'm here - for success."

Lallana, who made three appearances with England at the World Cup, is coming off a remarkable campaign with Southampton that saw him earn a place on the Premier League team of the season as well as a nomination for the PFA Player of the Year award.

He becomes the second player to make the switch from St. Mary's to Anfield this summer, following the move of striker Rickie Lambert.
