Liverpool agree deal for Paletta (15 Feb 2006 07:50 GMT)

Argentine defender Gabriel Paletta has agreed a four-year deal to join Liverpool at the end of the season.

The player's current club Atletico Banfield had claimed on Monday that talks over the move had been postponed until the summer.

However, Liverpool revealed on their website that a deal has now been finalised, subject to a medical.

Paletta, who turns 20 on Wednesday, helped Argentina win the Under-20 World Cup in 2005.

He has made 33 appearances for Banfield and scored five goals.
