CROUCH SET FOR £7m LIVERPOOL SWITCH

Liverpool have agreed terms with Southampton for the transfer of striker
Peter Crouch, according to Saints boss Harry Redknapp.

The Reds are believed to have agreed a fee of £7m for the former Aston
Villa forward and he is expected to undergo a medical tomorrow.

Redknapp told Sky Sports News: "I just got a message a while ago that
they (the Southampton board) had agreed terms with Liverpool so that is
where he (Crouch) is now."

Crouch would become the European champions' sixth summer signing and
would almost certainly take their spending past the £20 million mark.

Reds boss Rafael Benitez has been chasing the player throughout the
summer and it appears the club's third bid has proved acceptable to
Saints, though Liverpool are yet to officially confirm the news.

Crouch caught Benitez's eye with a good display in his side's 2-0 win
over Liverpool at St Mary's back in January, where he scored
Southampton's second goal.
