Liverpool have completed the signing of Italian full-back Andrea Dossena from Udinese.
Like Degen, Dossena has signed a four-year deal.
Dossena replaces Norwegian John Arne Riise who left for Roma earlier this summer and joins for an undisclosed fee thought to be around £7 million.
Speaking at the beginning of June when Dossena successfully completed a medical examination at Liverpool, his agent Federico Pastorello revealed Dossena's delight at the move.
"I understand he is the first Italian international to play for Liverpool - a great opportunity for him and he is really happy," Pastorello revealed.
"There were many teams interested in him.
"He was the best left-back in Italy last year, arguably along with the boy [Juan] Vargas at Catania.
"So it was natural that there will be interest in the best left-back in Serie A, but to have the chance to work with a coach like Rafa Benitez was something he could not turn down.
"That was an important aspect of his decision and he cannot wait to get started."
