Mainz goalkeeper Loris Karius is in Liverpool for a medical ahead of completing a £4.7m move to the club.

The former Germany U21 international is expected to spend the next few days in the city.

Personal terms have been agreed after Liverpool met the terms of the 22-year old's release clause.

Karius could miss the opening three weeks of the Premier League season though, as he is expected to be in Germany's squad for the Olympics.
