Liverpool are close to signing Hoffenheim striker Roberto Firmino, according to reports.
The Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move to the Reds and their North-West rivals Manchester United in recent weeks, after scoring 10 goals in the Bundesliga last season.
However, Globoesporte claims that Liverpool have agreed a fee of £17.8m, and will hand the player a five-year deal.
Firmino is currently with Brazil in the Copa America.
