Andrea Dossena was signed for around £7 million in July 2008 as a replacement for the outgoing John Arne Riise. The Italian is a left back known for his aggressive, attacking style. He will wear the number 2 shirt last worn by Alvaro Arbeloa.
Before signing for Liverpool he had previously played for Hellas Verona, Treviso and Udinese. To date, he has a single cap for the Italian national side, featuring in a friendly against South Africa. He was, however, overlooked for Italian squad for Euro 2008.
He made his debut on the opening day of the 08/09 season at Sunderland. Dossena scored his first goal for the club in the emphatic 4-0 win over Real Madrid at Anfield on March 10th, 2009.
