Liverpool boss Dalglish says Downing deal not yet over line
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish says there's still some way to go before he signs Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing.
Liverpool last night agreed an initial fee of £18million with Aston Villa, rising to £20million, and are now talking to Downing.
He was due to have a medical on Merseyside today and the Reds have offered him a four-year deal worth around £75,000-a-week.
Speaking after arriving in Malaysia on the latest leg of the club's Asian tour, Dalglish said: "We've been given permission to speak to the player.
"We will now try to agree personal terms with him, but it will all depend on the medical. It is a work in progress and we will see what happens and keep you informed."
