Moreno: Ex-Liverpool players convinced me about Anfield

Alberto Moreno admits several of Liverpool's former Spanish stars convinced him about the move.

The former Sevilla fullback completed his transfer yesterday.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "If my relationship with Liverpool supporters develops in the same way it did with Sevilla fans, then it'll be a good indication that they are happy to have me here.

"I spoke with Xabi Alonso, Pepe Reina and Alvaro Arbeloa and they told me this is a spectacular club whose fans follow it in a very special way. They all told me I can grow a lot here as a footballer as this is a massive club.

"He (Luis Alberto) told me the same as Xabi, Pepe and Arbeloa did. This city has its own special way of following football and people are very respectful. They said it's incredible when you go out onto the pitch at Anfield as the fans are very supportive and they will always be behind me. They told me I'll feel very happy here."
