Transfer Topic: Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo > Liverpool)

Sorry, I don't know who is this player, Iago Aspas. Just to say, better than Fabio Borini?

Better than Suarez? Better than Sturridge?

My sources tell me he is better than Messi

Yeah but Milo & Fizz from The Tweenies don't really cut it in the 'sources' department fella..

Probably tomato ketchup or HP.

Blatently joking.

You and me both mate.

No doubt we'll have the usual band of posters who have been watching him every week for the last two years, while also watching 80 live games a week from 12 different Leagues via internet streams.

It happens every Summer mate.

You're surprised some people here know a striker from a club in one of the biggest leagues in the world?

This.

You know those players you like for no reason at all who play for one of the lower clubs in the league? He is one of them for me. No idea why i like him, but i do.

As for him being good enough for us? Time will tell should he sign. He seems a tidy little player.

Im not sure if your serious.. And who are these 'sources'..?

to anyone who thought i was serious....wow

If that's true, the fee might be a bit higher than expected, but the wages are pretty low. Footballer low, not normal person low

I hope Liverpool fans are happy with the arrival of Iago Aspas for 9m euros. Pace, goal, commitment. Key: adaptation to England. Aspas: forward that can play wide and striker.Fast running with ball,great finisher.1 of top youngstairs in Spain. And soon will b confirmed

Cant say i know much about him but very happy with how fast deals are been done if this one is true!!

Never seen him play but I hope to god he is good

Echo reporting that we've agreed a fee of €9m. Fantastic to see us getting things done so quickly.

Be honest, only seen him maybe 3 times but all the reviews coming in seems like a very good piece of business by us

Liverpool complete £8million deal for Iago Aspas
By This Is Anfield on May 29, 2013

Liverpool have completed a €9.5million (£8.1million) deal to bring Spanish attacker Iago Aspas to Anfield this summer, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.

The newspaper reports that the deal will be announced next week, following the end of the league season.

Aspas is signed from Celta Vigo, where he has scored 46 goals in 137 appearances.

The 25-year-old forward is highly rated in Spain and will provide a new dynamic option to Brendan Rodgers’ attack.

The signing will surely put an end to rumours suggesting Andy Carroll will stay to fight for his place at Liverpool, with Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Fabio Borini and Philippe Coutinho also bolstering Liverpool’s attacks.

Don't know anything about him, but I'm reading reports that if Celta Vigo drop down his release clause is then lowered is anyone else seeing that?

TK Karlson on twitter:

Clever piece of business if Liverpool have indeed landed Iago Aspas from Celta Vigo. Strikes me as well suited to the EPL

Iago Aspas: tricky second striker (or winger) with good movement and agility. Very "intense" playing style, no rest for opposing defenders

Iago Aspas: fine goalscoring record for a forward that roams and likes looking for ball wide, good 1v1. very left-footed (though)

Holy sh*t what's happening at the Club.  We normally have to wait till 11.30pm on deadline day to here of any transfers yet we've done 2 before the window even opens.

Sounds like an astute signing too.  Well done to the transfer committee.

Liverpool FC agree fee for Spanish striker Iago Aspas

£7.7m will see the Ceta Vigo forward at Anfield next season

Liverpool have agreed a fee of 9million euros (£7.7million) with Celta Vigo for the transfer of forward Iago Aspas.

 The 25-year-old Spaniard has scored 12 goals in 33 appearances in La Liga this season.The ECHO revealed last weekend that the Reds had opened talks about a move to Anfield and the negotiations have reached a swift conclusion.

Aspas will remain with relegation-threatened Celta for their crunch final game of the campaign at home to Espanyol on Saturday.

They must win in order to have any chance of staying up. He is then expected to fly to Merseyside next week to discuss personal terms and under a medical.

Aspas had a buyout clause of 10 million euros (£8.5million) which would have dropped to 7million euros if Celta went down.

However, with the likes of Valencia and Swansea City also chasing him, Liverpool moved quickly to secure his services. Equally at home leading the line, playing as a second striker or in a wider role, his versatility makes him a good fit for Brendan Rodgers' system.

The manager had wanted a fourth striking option to complement Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Fabio Borini and improve the depth of his squad.

Livepool have had the 5ft 9ins frontman, who is a product of Celta Vigo’s Academy, watched frequently this season and the reports have been glowing.

He netted a career-best 29 goals to help Celta win promotion back to Spain's top flight in 2011/12.This season he has been the star performer in a struggling side with six assists to go with his 12 league goals.

Blessed with good pace and fiercely committed, he is also a clinical finisher.
