Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant officially moved to Spanish side Real Zaragoza on Thursday on a three-year deal, Zaragoza's website reported.

The 26-year-old stayed for three years in Liverpool and played 163 matches. He played in the 2007 Champions League final.

Pennant said he turned down offers from other clubs to play in Spain.

"I wanted to come to Spain. I had offers from other important clubs in Europe but I wanted to sign for Real Zaragoza," Pennant told the club's website.
