Fabio Borini became the first addition to the new-look Liverpool as he vowed to put the Premier League under the knife.
The former Roma striker linked up with Reds boss Brendan Rodgers for the THIRD time, when a cut-price £8million deal was completed last night.
Now Borini, 21, is already planning to cut down defences and treat Kop fans to his unique goal celebration.
He revealed: “My goal celebration is a knife between the teeth. In Italy it means a warrior or someone who never gives up.
“At Swansea and Roma the fans liked it, so I hope to show it to Liverpool fans as well.”
Borini, who had a shock call-up to Italy’s Euro 2012 squad, has worked with Rodgers during his days as a Chelsea youth star, as well as hitting six goals on loan at Swansea to them into the top flight.
After quitting Stamford Bridge he joined Parma, but was immediately loaned to Roma — where he grabbed nine goals in 20 appearances last term before joining them on a permanent deal last month.
And Rodgers reckons his first signing will prove an instant terrace hit.
He said: “I think the supporters will love him.
“He’s a goalscorer, but also a multi-functional player who can play in a number of positions. He’ll do well at Liverpool.”
