Voronin completes switch

Andriy Voronin has completed his £2 million move from Liverpool to Dynamo Moscow

The Ukrainian striker said he rejected offers from the Bundesliga to move to the Russian capital.

"I had options in both in Germany and in Russia, but I've chosen Dynamo," he said.

"I was pleased with the professional approach of Dynamo officials during the talks. Also I talked to Dynamo's head-coach Andrey Kobelev with whom I share a similar view of football.

"I've talked to many of my friends, and I've heard nothing negative about the Russian championship. I've spoken with (Sergey) Rebrov, (Andriy) Gusin, (Anatoliy) Timoshchuk, (Diniyar) Bilyaletdinov and none of them discouraged me from going there."

Voronin joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen on a free transfer in 2007, but never established himself as a first-team regular and spent last season on loan at Hertha Berlin.

He made numerous substitute appearances in the first half of this season, and leaves Anfield with a record of six goals in 40 games.

He is the second player to leave Liverpool this month following Andrea Dossena's £4.5m move to Napoli.
