Liverpool have completed the signing of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.

Barcola has agreed a five-year contract at Anfield. Liverpool will pay a guaranteed £106m for the winger, with add-ons potentially taking the fee to £123m.

"It's a great pride to be able to play for Liverpool. I'm very happy," the 23-year-old told Liverpoolfc.com.

"It took a long time but I'm really happy today to be able to play for Liverpool and all I want is to be on the pitch and be able to play.

"It's a great pride to be able to play for Liverpool. I'm very happy," the 23-year-old told Liverpoolfc.com.

"It took a long time but I'm really happy today to be able to play for Liverpool and all I want is to be on the pitch and be able to play.

"I hope to achieve very big things. First of all, winning the Premier League - it's one of my biggest dreams in my life. It is to do that and to stay in this team in the long term - that's why I signed a long contract - and I hope I can do it."

There had been a gap in valuation between the two clubs earlier in the summer, with PSG previously asking for around £145m for the France international, but Barcola has now become Andoni Iraola's third major signing of the summer after Victor Munoz and Ronald Araujo, with Jeremy Jacquet also arriving having been signed in January.

Barcola becomes Liverpool's second most expensive signing of all time, following the £125m deal for Alexander Isak from Newcastle last summer. He has been a long-term target and only wanted to move to Anfield.

In signing both Barcola and Munoz, Liverpool feel they have achieved their objective for the window of reinforcing in wide areas. They are unlikely to make any late additions unless there are outgoings.

Manchester City have been in contact with Liverpool over a move for Cody Gakpo.
