Dutch prodigy Sepp van den Berg is set to undergo a medical today ahead of his proposed £1.79m move to Liverpool, according to The Telegraph.

In terms of outgoings, the Evening Standard has reported that second choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is wanted by Crystal Palace, with the south London club will to part with £8m for the Belgian’s services.

Liverpool could turn their attention to Southampton’s Alex McCarthy and try and bring him back to Anfield if Mignolet leaves.

Rafa Camacho is also reportedly nearing the exit door, with A Bola stating that Sporting Lisbon are close to agreeing a fee for the 19-year-old winger.

Finally, recently released full-back Alberto Moreno has agreed to join La Liga outfit Villarreal, according to Spanish publication Marca.
