Wataru Endo is set to undergo a medical at Liverpool as they look to complete the deal ahead of Saturday’s clash against Bournemouth, sources have told Football Insider.
The 30-year-old midfielder is set to join the Reds after they agreed a £15million transfer fee with VfB Stuttgart.
Endo has flown to Liverpool to complete his medical examination before signing a contract to become Liverpool’s third signing of the window after Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Jurgen Klopp has been eager to add a defensive midfielder to his squad this summer but fell short in his pursuit of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, with the duo both set to join Chelsea.
Liverpool were pipped to Caicedo’s signature by the Londoners despite agreeing a British record transfer fee of £111million with Brighton.
Klopp has now turned his attention to Endo, who captains Bundesliga side Stuttgart as well as the Japan national team.
