Allen set to join former Swan's manager at Anfield

It seems that Liverpool have agreed terms with Swansea midfielder Joe Allen and that he is on the verge of signing for the Liverpool.

The midfielder has, for some time, been tipped to re-unite with Brendan Rodgers who made the same move to Anfield earlier this summer to replace Kenny Dalglish.

Swansea are still holding out for a fee close to £15 million which would activate a release clause in Joe Allen's contract, but Liverpool have only offered a fee of £12.5 million as well as Jonjo Shelvey on a season long loan deal.

The Liverpool Daily Post reported that Swansea would reject the offer but that Allen would still complete his transfer to Liverpool. Allen has his heart set on a move to Anfield, but new Swansea manager Michael Laudrup has insisted that the clubs haven't completed any deal.

Liverpool have already made a move to free up some space in their midfield with a deal for Anfield flop Alberto Aquilani to join Serie A side Fiorentina nearing completion.

Though, Spurs have retained an interest in the talented midfielder after having signed his former team-mate Gylfi Sigurdsson earlier this summer.

Though, the Team GB star's future is unlikely to be resolved while he is still involved in the Olympic Games but what we do know is that Joe Allen is definitely an extremely talented player with great ability and a bright future ahead (probably at Anfield).
