Liverpool midfielder Sebastian Leto has completed a two-year loan move to Greek champions Olympiakos.

The Reds were forced to send out Leto on loan after the Argentine was refused a work permit due to his Italian passport being revoked.

Reds boss Rafa Benitez revealed a clutch of clubs had shown an interest in the 21-year-old, who is looking forward to playing for Olympiakos.

"Olympiakos is a challenge for me. I know I will be here for two years," Leto told the club's official website.

Great team

"I've had two weeks of pre-season training with Liverpool and I believe I will be ready to do whatever I have to.

"Olympiakos are a great team who challenge for every honour in Greece and in the Champions League.

"The team has some good players, a well known coach and fanatical supporters which always inspires them."

Leto moved to Anfield 12 months ago from Lanus and made four first-team appearances for the club last season.
