Liverpool FC agree £60m deal for Lavia who could still join Chelsea

Liverpool have struck a £60million deal with Southampton for Romeo Lavia, according to Sky Sports News.

However, Chelsea are still trying to sign Lavia and were close to an agreement with Saints late last week.

Liverpool have already missed out on Moises Caicedo to Chelsea.

The Blues have agreed a deal with Brighton worth a British record £115m for Caicedo.

That follows Liverpool having a £111m offer accepted only for the 21-year-old to inform them he intended to join Chelsea.

Southampton had been holding firm on their £50m valuation of 19-year-old Lavia. Chelsea had made an offer of £48m last week, while Liverpool had seen three previous offers turned down this summer.
