Liverpool has completed the signing of England midfielder Adam Lallana from Southampton.

The club confirmed the move Tuesday after finalizing the details of Lallana's contract over the weekend.

The 26-year-old Lallana says on Liverpool's website, "I'm so excited for the next chapter of my career, coming to a special club like Liverpool. I'm quite humbled and I just can't wait to get started."

Lallana, who is believed to have signed a five-year deal, underwent a medical exam at Liverpool's training ground on Friday after Southampton accepted a reported £25 million ($43 million) bid.

Liverpool missed out on its first Premier League title in 24 years by two points last season.

Lallana adds, "Hopefully we can win trophies while I'm here, because that's why I'm here — for success."
