Sunderland have confirmed they have agreed a fee with Liverpool for the sale of Jordan Henderson, who could complete his move on Wednesday.
The England international, 20, will head to Anfield to have a medical and discuss personal terms.
A statement from Sunderland said: "A fee has been agreed with Liverpool for Jordan Henderson and he travels to Anfield today with the club's blessing."
It is understood the deal is worth in the region of £20million, while it is thought French striker David Ngog could travel in the opposite direction,
Henderson's likely arrival would make him manager Kenny Dalglish's third high-profile signing after the big-money January captures of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez.
Sunderland have repeatedly stated that the player was not for sale, but Liverpool's cash has persuaded them to part company with Henderson, who will head to Denmark later this week to link up with the England Under-21 squad for the European U21 Championships.
Personally I believe this a top young player and a good signing for Liverpool. I feel that maybe £20million was maybe a bit steep but hopefully he will be able repay the faith shown in him by putting in some high quality performances in the seasons to come.
