Liverpool seal Kromkamp deal

Liverpool FC have completed the signing of Dutch defender Jan Kromkamp from Villarreal CF in a deal that sees Josemi move in the opposite direction.

European champions Liverpool FC have completed the signing of Dutch international defender Jan Kromkamp from Spanish club Villarreal CF, in an agreement that sees Spanish right-back Josemi move in the opposite direction.

Unsettled spell
Liverpool announced the completion of the deal with their fellow UEFA Champions League contenders on their website, after 25-year-old Kromkamp passed a medical and completed the formalities of his move from Spain. It is the second transfer in a matter of months for the right-sided player, following his move to Villarreal from AZ Alkmaar in the summer.

European inelibility
He struggled to settle at El Madrigal, however, making only six Primera División appearances, although he did also feature in four UEFA Champions League matches as the Spanish side claimed first position in Group D and a place in the last 16. That means the player, who is comfortable in midfield and defence, will be ineligible to play in this year's competition for defending champions Liverpool.
