Ward has undergone a medical at Liverpool's training grounf after the two clubs agreed on a reported fee in the region of £100,000.

Liverpool are also set to complete the signing of 22-year-old goalkeeper Nordfeldt from Brommapojkarna.

Nordfeldt travelled to England on Monday to discuss personal terms with Liverpool.

"It's obvious that it feels terrific, but I try to keep the feet firmly planted on the ground." Nordfeldt told Fotbolldirekt.se.

"We'll see what plans they have for me. That will certainly be exciting."
