Finnan joins Espanyol
STEVE Finnan has joined Spanish outfit Espanyol for an undisclosed fee.
The 32-year-old full back has been at Liverpool since 2003 and has made over 200 appearances for the Reds.
He has joined Espanyol in a two-year deal as an immediate replacement for Pablo Zabaleta who joined Manchester City yesterday.
Finnan has lost his place in the first team at Anfield and slipped down the pecking order behind Alvaro Arbeloa and new recruit Phillip Degen.
The move has increased speculation that Liverpool will complete the signing of Espanyol winger Albert Riera.
