Liverpool Transfer News: Done Deal, defender move hijacked, talks underway
Rickie Lambert has joined West Brom

Rickie Lambert has completed his move from Liverpool to West Brom, the Daily Mirror report.

The England international joined the Baggies in a £3m deal and has put pen to paper on a two year deal.

His departure comes just 12 months after he joined his boyhood club for £4.5m from Southampton.

He scored only three goals last season and the arrivals of Christian Benteke, Danny Ings and Divock Origi meant his opportunities would be limited during the upcoming season.

Roma are trying to beat Liverpool to the signing of Paris St-Germain left-back Lucas Digne, according to the Daily Express.

Liverpool want the 22-year-old to provide added competition for Alberto Moreno as they are looking to offload current back-up Jose Enrique.

But Roma are reported to have opened talks with the French champions as they look to quickly wrap up a deal.

Liverpool are in talks with two Spanish clubs about deals for defenders, according to Sport Witness.

They cite Marca who claim the Reds are in talks with Sporting Gijon about a loan move for youngster Rafael Paez.

And Spanish newspaper Sport claim Barcelona are prepared to sell Adama Traore to Liverpool for just £7m provided a buy-back clause is inserted in the deal.
