Liverpool sign Aquilani from Roma
Aquilani has played 11 times for Italy
| Liverpool have signed Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani on a five-year contract after the Italian international passed a medical.
The 25-year-old has joined the Reds in a deal reportedly worth £20m.
Aquilanihas not played since March due to an ankle injury and is only expectedto be fully fit in around four to eight weeks time.
Liverpool said in a statement: "He will continue his rehabilitation under the guidance of our medical team."
Aquilani is Liverpool's second major summer signing after England right-back Glen Johnson joined from Portsmouth.
Liverpoolboss Rafael Benitez targeted the Italian on Wednesday just hours afterthe Reds sold Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid for £30m.
"Alberto has a winning mentality and great experience in both Serie A and the Champions League," said Benitez.
Aquilani, has played 11 times for Italy and has been with Roma, theclub he supported as a child, since he was 16, making his debut as an18-year-old under now England boss Fabio Capello.
"Aquilani haslong been recognised as a top class talent in Italy, captaining hiscountry at both Under 19 and Under 21 levels before establishinghimself in the senior national side," said Benitez.
The Italianhad an operation on his ankle injury in May after struggling withinjury problems which restricted him to just 14 appearances for Romalast season.
The Reds had also been linked with Wigan's Lee Catermole and Valencia's David Silva.
Lastsummer a move for then Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry - now atManchester City following a £12m summer transfer - fell through afterBenitez was unable to sell Alonso to raise the sufficient funds for thedeal.
