Liverpool have signed Cornelia Kapocs on a permanent deal from Linkoping for whom she scored 18 goals last season.

She spent four years with Linkoping, playing through the middle as well as out wide, also gaining Champions League experience with the Swedish side.

“I’m very happy and very proud to be here,” Kapocs told Liverpoolfc.com. “I like the way the team plays and I also feel that I can grow and develop here as a player and as a person, so this is the right place to take the next step in my career.”

Manager Matt Beard said: “I’m really excited to bring Cornelia in. She is very different to what we’ve got up front – she can play wide and can play down the middle.

“Her goalscoring record is fantastic, she got 18 goals last season, her movement is great and she’s a very intelligent player. So I think the fans can be excited at what she can bring to the table and we are excited to have her here.

“We need to progress the team, create that competition. And to have all these players now who can play in the frontline, it’s a headache for me but it’s also fantastic for me.”
