Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has begun his summer overhaul of the Reds’ underperforming squad by bringing in Switzerland right-back Philipp Degen on a free transfer.
The 25-year-old will leave Borussia Dortmund for Anfield on July 1 when his contract with the Bundesliga club expires.
The former Basle defender will vie with Alvaro Arbeloa and Steve Finnan for the right-back berth after he returns from Euro 2008.
