Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Ryan Babel from Ajax.

The Dutch forward has put pen-to-paper on a five-year deal after the two clubs agreed a fee of £11.5million earlier this week.

Babel joins Yossi Benayoun as the latest two signings at Anfield and both will be presented by the club later on Friday.

The 20-year-old, who will wear the number 19 shirt, will have to compete with a number of other players for a place in Rafa Benitez's side.
