Report: Joe Allen agrees Liverpool contract

Swansea City midfielder Joe Allen has reportedly held talks with Liverpool.

The two clubs are not believed to have yet agreed a fee for Allen, with the Welsh club adamant that they will not sell the 22-year-old for less than £15m.

However, Allen was given permission to speak with Reds bosses last month and has now agreed a contract at Anfield, according to the South Wales Evening Post.

Liverpool's most recent bid for Allen is understood to include a proposal for Jonjo Shelvey to move to the Liberty Stadium on a season-long loan.
