Jamie Carragher hails Kolo Toure arrival at Liverpool

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has claimed that Kolo Toure is a "very good signing" for the club.

The 32-year-old Ivorian recently arrived at Anfield on a free transfer from Manchester City.

"He was part of the 'Invincibles' at Arsenal and to have been is an achievement in itself," Carragher told the club's official website.

"He's been at Man City and now he's come to Liverpool - and he'll add something, of course he will.

"He can play centre-back, he can play in a three at the back and at full-back in an emergency. It's a very good signing by the manager of the club."

Liverpool return to action on Saturday when they face Olympiacos in Steven Gerrard's testimonial at Anfield.
