Danny Pacheco has headed away from Liverpool once again, with Spanish giants Atletico Madrid signing the midfielder on a season-long loan.

Pacheco has long been held in high regard at Anfield, but is felt to require more experience before being let loose on the Liverpool first team.

He had a spell at Norwich towards the end of last season, aiding the club in their push to promotion with key goals and assists.

The 20-year-old had been linked with a return to Norwich but will not get the chance to showcase his talents in the Premier League this term, as Atletico have tied up a loan deal that runs until June 30, 2012.
