Liverpool have completed the signing of Spain international Víctor Muñoz from Osasuna.
The 22-year-old forward has signed a six-year contract at Anfield and is the club’s first signing under head coach Andoni Iraola.
Iraola’s side hijacked Newcastle United‘s move for Munoz, sources told ESPN. He had a €40 million ($46m) release clause.
The exit of Mohamed Salah from Anfield meant Liverpool needed reinforcements in wide areas this summer. They have moved to bring in a compatriot of their new head coach Iraola.

He is part of the Spain squad for this summer’s World Cup.
