Liverpool will complete the signing of Chelsea's out of contract Dominic Solanke in what is expected to be a £3 million deal.

Jurgen Klopp's first move of the transfer window is to develop his Under-23 squad by capturing the England youth international.

Solanke's contract has run down at Stamford Bridge and he sees his chances of developing as a Premier League striker enhanced by the move to Anfield.

Because Solanke is a development player the fee must be determined by tribunal, but Liverpool believe it will be in the region of £3 million. He will earn around £20,000 a week on Merseyside.

Liverpool believe they have beaten Celtic and Red Bull Leipzig to secure Solanke's signature.
