London: Liverpool have signed Spanish right-back Javier Manquillo on loan from reigning La Liga champions Atletico Madrid, the English Premier League club announced on Wednesday. Liverpool did not confirm the length of the loan, but 20-year-old Manquillo is reported to have committed to a two-year stay at Anfield.

"I'm very happy to have signed for a club like Liverpool," Manquillo told the Liverpool website. "I think it's one of the biggest in Europe. Any footballer would want to come and play here." Manquillo began his career with Atletico's city rivals Real Madrid, but made the cross-town switch to the Vicente Calderon in 2007.
