Liverpool Sign Degen
Philipp Degen’s transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Liverpool has finally been sealed. The Swiss defender will join the Anfield club on a free transfer. The right back is thought to have been handed a four year contract and he will be competing with Steve Finnan and Alvaro Arbeloa for the right back spot in the Liverpool defence next season.
Personally i haven’t seen all that much of Degen but from what i have seen of him, his strength really seems to be in attack rather than defence and i don’t expect he will be Liverpool’s first choice right back for next season.
He will be a decent addition to the squad there’s no doubting that but I’m not convinced he is of more quality than Liverpool already have. But, like i said, i have only seen him play a couple of times. He’ll probably go on to win Player of the Year next year now that i have said that!
