Dominik Szoboszlai has flown to Liverpool to complete his £60m move as Jürgen Klopp continues his summer rebuild at Anfield. The RB Leipzig midfielder was given permission to travel after Liverpool triggered his release clause late on Friday evening. The clause was due to expire at midnight and despite interest from Newcastle Liverpool moved swiftly for the Hungary captain, who could be unveiled as early as Sunday.

The 22-year-old has been heavily tracked by Eddie Howe after an excellent season in the Bundesliga that yielded six goals and eight assists. However, Liverpool emerged as frontrunners to sign Szoboszlai after a meeting with his agents earlier in the week and triggered his release clause of around £60m, with personal terms already agreed.
