Liverpool and Crystal Palace have agreed a £35m deal for centre-back Marc Guehi.
The England international has been given permission to undergo a medical, which will happen in London.
Guehi started and captained Palace against Aston Villa on Sunday evening, scoring a sublime curling effort in his side's 3-0 Premier League victory at Villa Park.
Liverpool had made an improved bid worth £35m for Guehi on Saturday that included a 10 per cent sell-on clause, however, Palace wanted a replacement through the door first before allowing their skipper to leave Selhurst Park.

Meanwhile, Jaydee Canvot, the 19-year-old Toulouse centre-back, has now completed his Palace medical and his signing is expected to be confirmed shortly in a deal worth £20.8m.
Glasner is keen for the club to also complete a deal for Serbia international defender Strahinja Pavlovic, although it is understood negotiations are not progressing.
