Liverpool have completed the signings of defenders Mamadou Sakho and Tiago Ilori as well as winger Victor Moses.
Moses, 22, spent three seasons at Wigan Athletic before joining Chelsea last August. He made 23 Barclays Premier League appearances for the Blues, scoring one goal, as well as helping the club win last season's UEFA Europa League. He has joined Liverpool on a season-long loan.
"First and foremost, I'm delighted to have made the loan from Chelsea to a big club like Liverpool," Moses told the club's website. "The most important thing is for me to be professional about it and I'm here to do a job for the club.
"The target is to get into the top four and for the club to compete in the Champions League - and I'm delighted to be here.
"There are a lot of quality players here - they're winning games and creating chances. It's a massive thing for me to be here."
Sakho, 23, joins from Paris St Germain, where he won the Ligue 1 title last season, and can play in the centre of defence or on the left.
The France international, who has won 14 caps for his country, has signed a long-term deal with the club.
"I'm delighted to be here. I'd like to thank everyone for the welcome," said Sakho. "I came here because the project that is in place at Liverpool interests me. I'm really looking forward to playing my first game.
"I'm really looking forward to cracking on with work and I can't wait to get on the pitch. I know the Liverpool fans are fantastic and while I was in France, it was clear for me to see they are amongst the best in England."
Ilori joins Liverpool from Sporting Lisbon, for whom he has made 20 appearances.
The 20-year-old, who was born in London, has represented Portugal at U18, U19 and U20 levels.
"It feels great being a Liverpool player - coming to the Premier League has always been a dream for me," he said. "I'm going to try and achieve everything I can. I want to play as much as possible and we'll see what the future holds. I will give my all and try my best to help the team."
Liverpool have now made a total of eight signings this summer following the arrivals of Luis Alberto, Iago Aspas, Aly Cissokho, Simon Mignolet and Kolo Toure.

Demichelis brings City a wealth of UEFA Champions League experience from his time at Malaga and Bayern Munich, where he played between 2003 and 2007 and with whom he won four Bundesliga titles.
