Liverpool agree fee for La Liga sensation

Liverpool look set to complete their eight signing of the summer, according to a report.

The Reds have been long linked with a move for Sevilla defender Alberto Moreno, with manager Brendan Rodgers keen on bolstering the club's defensive setup ahead of the return to Champions League football in the upcoming season.

Reports earlier revealed that both clubs were still in negotiations over the transfer fee for the Spain international. However, a statement from the Reds' official website has now revealed that a fee of around £12m has been agreed for the 22-year-old's transfer.

The statement read : "Liverpool can confirm they have reached an agreement with Sevilla for the transfer of Spain international full-back Alberto Moreno.

"The Reds will proceed with the formalities of finalising the deal for the 22-year-old over the coming days and will make no further announcement until it is complete."
