DONE DEALS: Konchesky to Liverpool, Hleb to Birmingham

Fulham defender follows Woy up north

Hidden amongst the mountains of rumour and stories of Ryan Babel taking over the skies, a couple of big deals have actually been confirmed today.

Liverpool have completed the signing of Fulham left-back Paul Konchesky on a four-year contract, with youth teamers Lauri Dalla Valle and Alex Kacaniklic going in the other direction. Meanwhile, Aliaksandr Hleb has wrapped up his season-loan deal from Barcelona to Birmingham.

Is that Liverpool’s fullback problem solved, then? Or will Hodgson be back in the market this time next year?
