Brighton & Hove Albion complete signing of former Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana


Brighton have completed the signing of former Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana.

The 32-year-old has agreed a three-year deal with Albion and returns to the south coast having left Southampton in 2014.

The former England international made 178 appearances during a six-year stint at Liverpool - contributing 22 goals and a further 22 assists.

15 of those appearances came this season, where Liverpool won the Premier League title, with a goal in their 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford in October.

Lallana hasn't played for the Reds since their 2-1 victory over Bournemouth at the beginning of July with the club honouring an agreement with the midfielder not to put him at risk of injury.

Speaking about the signing, Brighton boss Graham Potter said: "There is no doubting Adam’s quality, and if you look at his footballing CV his ability is clear for everyone to see.

"He has played at the very highest level, for both club and country, and achieved great things. He has a wealth of experience alongside his technical quality.

"The honours he won during his time at Liverpool, and the high regard in which he is held at Anfield, only further underline his ability and character.

"Adam is a really exciting signing for us, someone I am sure the supporters will be really looking forward to seeing play as and when things are able to begin to return to normal.

"To have both his experience and quality out on the pitch will be a great addition for us, and I know he will be an excellent role model for our younger players in the squad.

"I am really looking forward to working with him when we return for pre-season training in a few weeks."
