Allen set to complete Liverpool move

Joe Allen is expected to wrap up his move to Liverpool on Friday.

The Swansea midfielder was at Anfield on Thursday night to watch the Reds' 3-0 Europa League win over FC Gomel and he is set for a medical that will seal his switch to the Merseyside giants.

"It is imminent," said Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers. "The fact he was here shows there has been some communication with Swansea and we expect to conclude it in the next 24 hours."
