Joe Allen will undergo a medical at Stoke City on Monday ahead of completing a £13million move from Liverpool.

The Wales international agreed personal terms with the Potters over the weekend after Mark Hughes convinced him to move to the Britannia Stadium.

Swansea City failed to match Stoke's bid having had an offer of £8million rejected earlier in the window.

It marks the end of Allen's four-year stay with Liverpool which saw him score seven goals in 132 appearances.

The size of the fee represents good business for the Reds considering that Allen had entered the final year of his existing contract.

The 26-year-old, who cost Liverpool £15million from Swansea in the summer of 2012, struggled to command a starting spot following Jurgen Klopp 's appointment last season.

The arrival of signings Gio Wijnaldum and Marko Grujic would have limited his opportunities further this term.

Allen didn't want to stay put as a squad player and accepted the time was right to move on in search of a new challenge.

There was plenty of interest following his impressive performances for Wales at Euro 2016 which saw him named in the team of the tournament.

However, Stoke were the only club to agree a fee with Liverpool. Once Allen's medical has been completed he will fly to Florida to link up with his new team-mates.
