New Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has been pictured on a private jet as he flies into England to complete his move from Valencia.
The Georgian shot-stopper will make his long-awaited switch to the Premier League after penning his deal a year in advance to join the Reds.
The 24-year-old remained in La Liga and was apart of Carlos Corberan's side that transformed their season from being relegation-threatened to narrowly missing out on European qualification.
He kept eight clean sheets in 34 appearances in what was a difficult final season for the international goalkeeper.
Mamardashvili will forge part of a new-look goalkeeping hierarchy at Anfield, headed by new goalkeeper coach Xavi Valero after Fabian Otte and legendary Brazilian shot-stopper Claudio Taffarel left, with former Preston North End number one Freddie Woodman arriving upon the expiry of his contract at Deepdale.

Caoimhin Kelleher departed on a permanent basis to join fellow Premier League club Brentford, meanwhile Vitezslav Jaros and Harvey Davies signed new contracts before heading out on loan to Ajax and Swindon Town respectively.
In a post on social media from Geo Team, they showed the Mamardashvili flying to Merseyside ahead of officially completing his move to Liverpool.
In a tweet, they wrote: "PHOTO EXCLUSIVE: Giorgi Mamardashvili - On his way to Liverpool.

With the Georgian arriving at Anfield during a transitional period between the sticks, he will be challenging the Liverpool stalwart Alisson Becker for the number one shirt.
After the £29million move was completed last season, there was a suggestion that he would join a fellow Premier League club on loan in order to gain some experience.
But he remained in Valencia, guiding them to a mid-table finish, and now the path towards a Liverpool starting berth is clearer but Mamardashvili previously insisted he isn't coming to England's top-flight to warm the bench.
"They are looking at me as the Liverpool goalkeeper for the next 10 years,” he told Geo Team.
