ONLINE NOW: Watch the Rafa Benitez and Martin Skrtel press conference
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has made his first signing of the January transfer window after Slovakia defender Martin Skrtel completed his move from Russian club Zenit St Petersburg.
The 23-year-old has agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal and will provide essential cover at centre-back with Daniel Agger still working his way back from a broken foot and the 34-year-old Sami Hyypia coming to the end of his Anfield career.
Skrtel, who has 15 international caps, is believed to have cost the Reds a fee in the region of £6.5million - a club record for a defender.
