Liverpool have agreed a £60 million deal with Southampton to sign Romeo Lavia ahead of Chelsea, according to reports.

Jurgen Klopp's side have already had multiple offers for the midfielder rejected by Southampton and now face added pressure following interest from Chelsea, who submitted a £48m bid last week.

According to The Guardian, Liverpool have now bettered Chelsea's offer and have agreed a £60m fee with Southampton for Lavia.

However, the report claims that Liverpool must still convince the 19-year-old to join them ahead of Chelsea.
