The 26-year-old, who has been capped 27 times by England, becomes Kenny Dalglish's fourth summer signing following the arrivals of Jordan Henderson,Charlie Adam and Alexander Doni.
Villa confirmed earlier this week that Downing had submitted a formal transfer request and he travelled to Liverpool to discuss terms and complete a medical before signing.
Downing, who moved to Villa park for around £10million two years ago, had been a prime summer target of Dalglish, who saw bids of £12m and £15m rejected before an agreement for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £20m, was struck.
Downing made it clear only last month, when on England duty, that he would not sign an extension with Villa, effectively forcing them to listen to offers.-Skysport
