PARIS - LIVERPOOL winger Jermaine Pennant completed his switch from Anfield to promoted Spanish side Real Zaragoza on Thursday on a three-year deal.

The 26-year-old, who played in the 2007 Champions League final, said he had snubbed offers from other clubs to play in Spain.

'I wanted to come to Spain. I had offers from other important clubs in Europe but I wanted to sign for Real Zaragoza,' Pennant, who played 163 matches in three seasons at Liverpool, told the club's website.

'I want to get started and do well in the championship.' -- AFP
