Rickie Lambert: Liverpool medical "went well"

Rickie Lambert has revealed that there were no complications during his medical ahead of his proposed switch from Southampton to Liverpool.

The England international has spent most of today on Merseyside, where it is believed that he underwent a series of examinations and discussed personal terms.

He appeared reluctant to discuss the transfer in great detail, but when asked by Sky Sports News about the medical side of the deal, he replied: "It went well."

Then, when pressed about how much of a wrench it was to leave Southampton, the 32-year-old boyhood Liverpool fan replied: "There are a lot of emotions, as you can imagine. It's something that I need to address and obviously I will when I get the chance."

It has been reported that the Saints will receive an initial £4m for the centre-forward.
