The French defender Aly Cissokho has joined Liverpool on a season-long loan from Valencia.
The 25-year-old, who has been capped once by France, joined Valencia from Lyon last year and made 25 league appearances in his debut campaign for the Spanish club, scoring twice.
Subject to the completion of paperwork, he will become the fifth player to sign for the five-time European champions since the end of last season, joining Belgian goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, Ivorian centre-back Kolo Toure and Spanish forwards Luis Alberto and Iago Aspas at Anfield.
Brendan Rodgers' side began their English league campaign with a 1-nil win at home to Stoke City at the weekend and visit Aston Villa in their next game this weekend.
