Liverpool have signed Ireland captain Robbie Keane from Tottenham Hotspur for 19 million pounds ($37.76 million), the Premier League club said on their website on Monday.
The 28-year-old striker, who spent six years at the London [Images] club and is Ireland's all-time highest goalscorer with 33 goals, has signed a four-year contract with the Anfield club.
The former Leeds United player, who spent a brief period at Inter Milan after spells at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Coventry City, is Liverpool's fifth major pre-season signing along with David Ngog, Diego Cavalieri, Philipp Degen and Andrea Dossena.
