Aston Villa defender Luke Young is on the verge of joining Liverpool, according to the player's agent.
Young's representative, Andy Evans, said the two clubs had agreed a fee and were discussing personal terms for the 31-year-old former England right-back.
Villa manager Martin O'Neill stated on Tuesday that an offer had been made by an unnamed club.
Liverpool would not confirm the bid, although Young has not travelled to Portugal for Villa's pre-season tour.
The full-back was made available for transfer in May and is believed to have been coveted by Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson when he was at Fulham during the 2009-10 season.
"There has been an offer from a football club which Luke is mulling over," O'Neill said.
Young joined Villa in summer 2008 from Middlesbrough in a £5m move and became a key performer in his first season at Villa Park.
Last season he suffered early injury problems and was later given compassionate leave after the death of his brother, with Carlos Cuellar cementing his position at right-back.
Liverpool have been weakened at the full-back position by the departure of Fabio Aurelio on a free transfer. The Reds have also released Switzerland international Philipp Degen.
Another full-back, Emiliano Insua, is still waiting to hear if a £5m move to Italian club Fiorentina will go through.
well, well, well, good move i say
next up, simon davies..
