Liverpool close in on Jones

(GSM) – Liverpool are set to seal a £2.3million deal for Australian Brad Jones after the Middlesbrough goalkeeper passed a medical on Monday evening.

The 28-year-old had traveled to the north-west to discuss personal terms and undergo physical tests, which Liverpool confirmed on Monday night he successfully came through.

It is understood the deal had been held up by a difference of opinion over how the fee was to be paid.

Reds boss Roy Hodgson has earmarked Jones, who qualifies as a ‘home-grown’ player under the new rules after joining the Teessiders as a trainee, as suitable cover for first-choice goalkeeper Jose Reina.

Liverpool confirmed the fee on their official website and stated that Jones should finalise his move on Tuesday.
