Enrique poised for Reds medical

11 August 2011 11:30

Newcastle full-back Jose Enrique is expected to undergo a medical at Liverpool after the two clubs agreed a fee.

Press Association Sport understands the Reds have had a bid of around £6million accepted for the 25-year-old Spaniard with the saga over his future finally approaching a climax.

Enrique, who joined the Magpies in a £6.3million switch from Villarreal in August 2007, has been a long-term target for Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish after emerging from a difficult start to his career on Tyneside to prove himself a capable Barclays Premier League player.
