The Armenian playmaker has been sounded for a move to Anfield in the past few weeks, as the Reds brace themselves for Luis Suarez's seemingly inevitable departure.

He has also been on Borussia Dortmund's radar, and has been made available for sale after he failed to report for pre-season training.

His manager Mircea Lucescu urged the 24-year-old to snub Liverpool, telling Ukranian publication Terrikon: ""I can understand the urge to leave if he has a chance to go to a club that surpasses Shakhtar, like Barcelona or Real Madrid, but not many clubs are beyond our level - not clubs like Liverpool or Tottenham."

But it seems Liverpool have made a significant breakthrough, with a report in Russian paper Sport Express saying Liverpool will make an official statement in the next few days.

They also note he will fly to Liverpool to undergo a medical and join up with his new team-mates.

Meanwhile, Kolo Toure formally signed a two-year contract at Melwood training ground earlier today.

 

Damn!

Mweh...

£12m...?

Well, only to be expected. £15m+ please

Longest signing EVER

 

Jovetic made a similar comment like that a week or so ago about us........ his tune was mighty different when Rafa was trying to buy him in 09!!!! Just shows what not having CL can do and that injection of $$$$.

 

Ajax have announced that Toby Alderweireld has left training camp for personal reasons.

 

to come to Liverpool hopefully.

 

Would love him but, unless we're going to rely on Toure, not the type of CB we need

 

You talking destroyer/good in the air?

 

Absolutely!

 

Gotcha, think it rests on Coates or Skrtel going as Skrtel certainly fits that mould. Sakho would be nice at that.

 

I guess I'm hoping they both go. Would love us to get Sakho or Papa, would happily take Alder plus one of them but perhaps I'm getting a bit greedy there

 

Still would like to see a good LB in as well to provid immediate comp with JE.

 

I see RB and LB as equals. I think they both have one strong candidate and then its question marks.
