Reports suggest that Manchester CIty defender Kolo Toure will move to Anfield on July 1 when his contract expires after a deal was agreed with the Ivory Coast international.
Liverpool are in need of experience in defence following the retirement of Jamie Carragher while Martin Skrtl suffered a loss in form last season and was dropped from the Liverpool side after a defeat at Manchester United in the league and a disastrous loss against Oldham in the FA Cup.
Toure is thought to prefer a Premier League club in the north west where he has settled with his family.
