Adam Lallana will reportedly seal a £20 million move to Liverpool from Southampton next week, with the midfielder set to be named in Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad on Monday.
Despite interest from other clubs, the Daily Mail report that Lallana, who turned 26 on Saturday, has opted to join Brendan Rodgers' side.
It is believed Southampton see the transfer fee as fair value, with Lallana having progressed through their youth academy from the age of 12.
Rodgers was keen on Friday not to be seen to be commenting on another club's player, but said of Lallana: "Adam is a terrific young talent... there is always speculation about young talent."
The move is likely to be wrapped up before the England players report for manager Hodgson's pre-World Cup training camp in Portugal on May 19.
