Moroccan to undergo medical at Melwood

Liverpool have reached an agreement with Heerenveen to sign winger Oussama Assaidi, subject to the player passing a medical. The Morocco international, who has scored 20 goals in 68 appearances for the Eredivisie side, is poised to become Brendan Rodgers' third signing of the summer after Fabio Borini and Joe Allen. Liverpool confirmed the agreement on their official website on Thursday evening, with the 24-year-old to undergo a medical at Melwood. Assaidi, who joined Heerenveen from De Graafschap in 2008, has been capped 22 times for Morocco since making his international debut in February 2011. He has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League with Fulham, as well as Dutch champions Ajax.
