New Striker for Liverpool - Vitor Flora

Liverpool have signed Brazilian striker Vitor Flora on a free transfer.

The 18-year-old spent last season playing in his homeland with Botafogo and has signed a contract until 2010.

He holds an Italian passport so he does not require a work permit, however, he will need to gain international clearance before playing for the Reds.

Liverpool have also completed the permanent signing of Hungarian goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, 18, who was on-loan at Anfield last season.

Mascherano signs 4 year deal

Javier Mascherano has signed a four-year contract with Liverpool after moving to Anfield on loan from West Ham just over a year ago.

The Argentine midfielder was able to sign for Liverpool outside the transfer window because he does not belong to another club.

"I am very, very happy and now I can concentrate just on playing football.

"I said all along that I wanted to stay at Liverpool and now that I have signed I can say this is the best and the biggest moment in my career so far.

"From the first day I arrived at Liverpool the feeling was good and I knew this was where I wanted to play my football.

"It's good news for me and my family that everything is sorted and I know where my future is going to be. I just want to do my best for the fans and the people of the club.

"I am at a top side and I know I can win titles here. That's the big thing for me. I want to be at a club where we can win trophies and have success."

Hammill handed Reds deal

Adam Hammill has signed a new deal at Anfield.

The skilful winger, who is on a season-long loan at Southampton, inked a new three-year contract before making the move to St Mary's. The 19-year-old is highly-regarded at Anfield and he is tipped for a big future in the game.

Hammill admitted he was delighted to sort out his long-term future and has set his sights on breaking into Rafa Benitez's first-team squad.

'I signed a three-year deal at Liverpool earlier in the summer,' Hammill told skysports.com. 'The deal keeps me at Anfield until 2011 and I am delighted about that. 'I am a life-long Liverpool fan and it is my dream to play in the first team.'

Leiva Unveiled

New signing Lucas Leiva admitted he can't wait to line up alongside his new team-mates. Rafael Benitez believes Liverpool have acquired one of world football's best young talents in the Brazilian under-20 captain.

The summer signing from Gremio met up with the squad for the first time at Heathrow airport on Saturday and has spent the past few days getting to know them in Hong Kong.

International red tape denied him a debut against South China on Tuesday and it's not yet known whether he'll be available for selection against Portsmouth on Friday.
