Liverpool will push to complete the signing of free agent Victor Valdes inside the next fortnight.
The Daily Express says the former Barcelona goalkeeper has been tipped to link up with Brendan Rodgers at Anfield after being released by the Spanish giants at the end of the last season, and reports claim that he will undergo a medical with the Premier League giants during the international break.
Valdes saw a move to Monaco break down over the summer after suffering a serious injury that saw his Nou Camp career end abruptly, but the Reds are confident he will be able to challenge current No.1 Simon Mignolet once he works his way back to full fitness.
