Liverpool close on Stelios?

Liverpool have reportedly concurred on a fee for Stelios Giannakopoulos.

According to reports emanating from Greece, Liverpool and Bolton have concurred on a fee for Stelios Giannakopoulos.

News agencies in the player's homeland are reporting that Liverpool have offered a fee that triggers a release clause in the player's contract.

Speculation has suggested the European champions have bid in the region of ‚é¼1.7 million for the wide man's services but as yet there has been no official confirmation.

Bolton chief Sam Allardyce will be loathe to lose the industrious wide man but the lure of UEFA Champions League football could well prove a temptation too difficult to resist for Stelios.

The former Olympiakos favourite has proven an able Premiership performer and is thought to figure highly on Rafa Benitez's summer wish-list.

Reports from Greece have suggested that an official announcement will be made in the next few days - as Bolton brace themselves to lose their influential Greek international.
