Southampton are close to signing Norway defender Vegard Forren after the 24-year-old pulled out of a
week's trial with Liverpool.
The Molde player had been expected to arrive on
Merseyside on Tuesday after Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers invited
him for a trial this week.
However, Southampton have now had a £3.5m offer accepted for Forren, who has since travelled to the south coast.
Everton had previously been interested in the defender, only for that to cool.
Liverpool had been reluctant to bid for Forren until they had seen him train with the first-team squad.
Rodgers remains keen on signing a centre-back during the transfer window and is likely to allow Sebastian Coates to go out on loan if he is successful.
