Toure completes Liverpool move.
Liverpool have continued rebuilding for the new season by finalising a deal to bring in Kolo Toure from Manchester City.
The Ivory Coast international completed his switch after signing a deal at Liverpool's Melwood training ground.Toure is Liverpool's fourth signing of the summer, following Luis Alberto, Iago Aspas and Simon Mignolet to Anfield.
The 32-year-old said: "This means a lot to me. Firstly, I'm joining one of the best clubs in England.
"When I left City it was important for me to stay in England because it's the best league - and to join Liverpool is massive for me. Most of Liverpool's squad, including Toure and fellow new signings Alberto, Aspas and Mignolet, were all back at the club's Melwood training ground on Tuesday.
The only absentees were those players who have had international duty this summer, with the most high-profile of those being Luis Suarez.
