Roy Hodgson hopes to complete the signing of the Denmark international Christian Poulsen in the next 48 hours.
Poulsen, the Juventus midfielder, has been allowed to withdraw from Denmark's friendly with Germany on Wednesday to discuss personal terms with Liverpool and to undergo a medical on Merseyside. The 30-year-old will cost around £6m and could make an immediate debut against Arsenal in the league on Sunday.
Liverpool are keen on bringing Peter Crouch back to Anfield but not at the £14m they have been quoted for the Tottenham Hotspur striker.
The club are also interested in the Middlesbrough goalkeeper Brad Jones, subject of a rejected £2m bid last week.
