"I remember him from City - I think he played 15 or 20 games there. It's something we've needed after losing John Arne Riise, Harry Kewell and Sebastian Leto. He's got a good left foot," said the Reds' vice-captain.
"The manager obviously knows him a lot better than us players because he has a good link with Paco Herrera, who used to be his coach at Espanyol. Hopefully he can add something that's been missing from the team."
