Liverpool agree Fabio Borini deal

Liverpool have reportedly agreed a £12m deal to sign Roma striker Fabio Borini.

The 21-year-old Italian international previously worked with Reds manager Brendan Rodgers in the Chelsea youth team between 2007 and 2009.

The Merseysiders are now thought to have sealed the switch after the Serie A club bought out Parma's 50% stake in the player, according to The Mirror.

If the move has gone through, Borini would be Rodgers's first signing since he took over at Anfield from Swansea City last month.
