Liverpool re-sign Fabio Aurelio

Liverpool have confirmed that the club have re-signed left-back Fabio Aurelio on a two year contract. The Brazilian had left the Merseyside club earlier this summer, after failing to agree a new contract on a pay-as-you- play basis. "I asked the club to find out whether Fabio had found a new club," manager Roy Hodgson said. "When we ascertained that he hadn't, we invited him back to Melwood so both myself and my staff, and the medical team could properly assess the player. We were both very impressed and I am delighted we were able to re-sign Fabio."

"He was composed on the ball had an excellent delivery with his left foot and was technically very able. I have watched him a lot since then and so have the Manchester City scouts. His attacking capability is very good. He is fast and can shoot with power and accuracy," Mancini said. "He also has the ability to play in numerous positions and is very good in midfield. This is an additional benefit to the team. He has a fantastic international career ahead of him. I am looking forward to working with him."
