Liverpool forward, Xherdan Shaqiri has completed a permanent transfer to Lyon after three years with the Premier League club.

The Swiss International joined the Reds from Stoke in the summer of 2018 and leaves with winners medals in the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup and Super Cup, having scored eight goals in his 63 appearances under Jurgen Klopp.

The 29-year old is mostly remembered for his match-winning Kop-end brace as a substitute against Manchester United at Anfield and his outstanding assist for Liverpool’s Champions League comeback third goal against Barcelona.

"Everybody at Liverpool FC thanks Xherdan for his contributions over the past three seasons and wishes him the very best for the rest of his career," a club statement read.
