Liverpool Close On Victor

Speculation is rife in Spain that Deportivo La Coruna winger Victor could be due to arrive on Merseyside for talks with Liverpool over the weekend.

Rafael Benitez has seen moves for Seville winger Daniel Alves, Atletico Madrid's Luciano Galletti and Benfica's Simao Sabrosa fail to materialise, prompting the Spaniard to switch to Sanchez del Amo Victor.

The player has been pulled out of the trip to Madrid for the weekend clash with Atletico and the former Real Madrid player, who has recently returned to fitness following a thigh injury, is expected on Sunday to discuss terms and undergo a medical.

A three-and-a-half-year deal is likely and Benitez will hope to wrap up the deal before the transfer window shuts on Tuesday.
