West Bromwich Albion have signed England international goalkeeper Scott Carson from Liverpool for £3.25million.

The 22-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, has signed a four-year deal with the Baggies.

Carson, who had been linked with a move to West Brom's fellow Premier League newcomers Stoke City, is the club's sixth signing this summer.

The fee for Carson could rise to £3.75m, while the club have an option to extend the contract by another year.

"Scott is a young keeper who has achieved a lot in a short space of time," manager Tony Mowbray told the club's official website.

"I think he's been looking for some stability in his career after spending a lot of his time as a Liverpool player out on loan at other clubs.

"Scott is one of a group of very talented, emerging, young English goalkeepers. Hopefully, we can provide him with a platform to push his career onwards and upwards."

Carson's signing takes the Baggies' summer spending to £13.75m.
