James Pearce of The Athletic has tweeted that the deal is all but done and all that remains is the 24-year-old passing a medical.

Other clubs showing interest included Bundesliga leaders Borussia Monchelgladbach alongside Italian giants AC Milan.

Another interesting suitor was Manchester United but they were reportedly unaware of his release clause.

Liverpool fans are excited at the thought of a proper first team signing considering their lack of transfer activity in the summer.

Liverpool played Salzburg in last night's Champions League and following the game, it was reported senior players voiced their praise of the attacker.

The Mirror have also stated that the club's Sporting Director Michael Edwards has been locked in negotiations with the Austrian outfit for the last six weeks.

It seems a brilliant coup for the current Premier League leaders.

Do you think Minamino will be a successful signing for Liverpool?
