31-8-10: Paul Konchesky has joined Liverpool from Fulham, signing a four-year contract.
As well as an undisclosed sum, Lauri Dalla Valle and Alex Kacaniklic have moved in the opposite direction in part exchange.
31-1-11: Nottingham Forest are loaning Paul Konchesky from Liverpool until the end of the season.
August 2011: Leicester City have completed the signing of full-back Paul Konchesky from Liverpool on a three-year contract.
The move ends an unhappy year at Anfield for the defender in which he was criticised for his performances and was loaned to Nottingham Forest.
Konchesky was a signing of former Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson, who had previously worked with him at Fulham, but he did not feature in the plans of Kenny Dalglish.
Sven Goran Eriksson, though, is delighted to have signed a player who he selected for an England debut against Australia in February 2003 before picking him for the Three Lions once more for a friendly against Argentina two years later.
Eriksson said: "Paul has been a Premier League player year in and year out throughout his career so he represents a very big signing for us.
"I know Paul very well as a player and as a person and he will be a top-class addition to our squad."
"He wanted to come to Leicester City and it means a lot that proven, established top-flight footballers want to be part of what we are building here.
