Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Serbian international Milan Jovanovic on a free transfer.

Jovanovic agreed a pre-contract with Liverpool in February to join the club from Standard Liege when his contract expired this summer.

Reports had suggested Jovanovic could pull out of the deal following the departure of Rafa Benitez at Anfield after the Spaniard had set up the deal for the 29-year-old.

However, Jovanovic has moved to end the speculation that he might move elsewhere by signing a three-year deal at Liverpool to become Roy Hodgson's first new signing.

Jovanovic admits he is honoured to be joining the English giants.

"It is an honour for me to sign for one of the biggest clubs in football," Jovanovic told the club's official website.

"I cannot wait to start working with the manager and I'm looking forward to joining up with my new team-mates on our Swiss training camp."
