Liverpool close in on Suarez

28 January 2011 18:00

Liverpool's long pursuit of Ajax forward Luis Suarez is finally over after they agreed a deal worth up to £22.8million with the Dutch club.

The 24-year-old has yet to pass a medical and agree personal terms but those two issues are unlikely to be stumbling blocks.

Having argued over the Uruguay international's value for some time Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group have sanctioned their first major signing since buying the club in October.
