Birmingham City signed Djimi Traore on Tuesday from Premier League strugglers Portsmouth on a three-month emergency loan deal.
The 28-year-old Mali defender has failed to nail down a first-team place at Fratton Park since moving to the south coast club in January 2007.
Traore made more than 160 appearances for Liverpool and was in the Reds side that won the Champions League against AC Milan in 2005.
He will join second-tier Birmingham for the full 93-day period allowed under the rules of an emergency deal.
