Peter Crouch is returning to Pompey six years after leaving and will work with boss Harry Redknapp for the third time in his career.
Crouch has signed a four-year contract.
The forward was also praised for his contribution to the Merseyside club by Reds manager Rafael Benitez.
Liverpool are expected to initially receive in the region of £9m for Crouch, who joined the club from Southampton in July 2005 but only started nine Premier League games last term.
Benitez initially said he would consider offers for Crouch in the region of £15m but had to scale back his demands for a player who only had a year left on his contract.
Crouch scored 40 goals in 135 appearances for Liverpool but struggled to hold down a regular first-team place in recent times.
He was relegated behind Torres, who scored 33 goals for the Reds after signing from Atletico Madrid last summer.
