Andrea Dossena joins Palermo

Palermo have completed the loan signing of Napoli full-back Andrea Dossena.

The 31-year-old, who has started just three games this season, joins the Rosanero on an initial six-month loan with a view to a permanent transfer in the summer.

"US Citta di Palermo have reached an agreement with SSC Napoli for the acquisition of Andrea Dossena," read a statement on the club's official website.

"The transfer is that of a six-month loan with the right to sign the player at the end of the season."

Dossena spent two years at Liverpool before moving to Naples in 2010.
