Liverpool have been given a significant boost as they look to complete a deal for Inter Milan's Philippe Coutinho.

The Reds are believed to have had a £10.2m bid for the Brazilian accepted last week, with the player due to have his medical in Merseyside this week.

Coutinho has been tracked by Liverpool for a while now, who was also the subject of interest from fellow Premier League outfit Southampton.

And now Coutinho, who is edging closer to a move to Anfield, has been given the thumbs up by Inter president Massimo Moratti, who feels the deal could benefit both clubs.

He said: "There are opportunities that must be taken and at times players can have the chance to get more playing time.

"This is why I think this English move could be a great opportunity for Coutinho and a deal that would be good for us too."

Coutinho's sale is believed to be necessary for Inter in their bid to land Paulinho, who had been linked with a move to Chelsea this window.

Coutinho has scored two goals in all competitions for Inter this season.

Brendan Rodgers remains hopeful of making further additions to his Liverpool squad before the transfer window slams shut. He feels the Reds still lack strength in depth, with Sunday's FA Cup exit to Oldham highlighting that fact. I hope that youg spurs lad aint one of them.
