After eight years of service, Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has left Anfield. The Slovakian has officially joined Turkish giants Fenerbahce, as confirmed by the club. He arrived in Istanbul on Tuesday to put pen to paper after passing his medical, but the announcement of the deal was delayed as the two parties negotiated personal terms with the player.
