The 26 year-old becomes Kenny Dalglish’s fourth summer signing after Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam and Goal keeper Alexander Doni.
Aston Villa confirmed that Downing had submitted a formal transfer request and he travelled to Liverpool to discuss terms and completed a medical before signing a long term deal at the club.
Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli told ”I am very pleased.It has been a long process and long negotiation, but we have reached an agreement with Aston villa and the player has signed for us ”
"We are delighted. It's difficult to say he was our No.1 target because all of our targets are our No.1 target.
"We did not prioritise on who we wanted to sign first, but we needed that pace and wide player that can bring us something extra, which we did not have in the squad.
"He has the right mentality, the right attitude and was absolutely committed to coming to us, so we are delighted."
