Liverpool's offer of £25 million to Southampton for Adam Lallana has been accepted.

Liverpool is also prepared to improve their attacking options for next season by making an offer for Benfica’s highly-rated Serbia international, Lazar Markovic, who has a £20m release clause, and the Belgium international forward Divock Origi.

The midfielder travelled to Merseyside on Friday for a medical and to finalize personal terms. He had been linked with a reunion with former Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham Hotspur but the boyhood Evertonian’s preference has always been for a move to Liverpool.
