Liverpool's out of contract player, Jermaine Pennant has joined La Liga new boys Real Zaragoza on a free transfer.

The player was out of contract at the end of June after spending the latter half of 2008-09 season on loan with Portsmouth.

He played for Liverpool in the Champions League final of 2007 but had recently failed to make the cut for the team.

He thus becomes Real Zaragoza's,who qualified back to the La Liga,first signing of the summer transfer window.

Pennant told the club's official website :

I wanted to come to Spain and I had offers from important teams in Europe but joined Real Zaragoza.

I really want to get started and do well in the league.

Do fans think it was the right move by Pennant who also had offers from other Premiership clubs? Comment away..

Newcastle to bid for Aimar

Newcastle United manager,Kevin Keegan has reportedly bid for Real Zaragoza's midfielder,Pablo Aimar for a fee of £6.5million.
Zaragoza had signed Aimar in 2006 worth 16million euros,but had been relegated from La Liga this season.Liverpool manager,Rafa Benitez had earlier bid for the former Valencia man in the January transfer window,only to be denied.
Keegan aims to fill the gap created by Emre who left St.James' Park to join turkish club Fenerbace.
Will it be a good move for the magpies?I think Aimar can create what Emre couldn't and even if he doesn't do a good job at least he'd be better than Emre,right?
