Allen in 24 hours

Him at Anfield last night to watch the 3-0 thumping!
Allen is poised to undergo a medical at Liverpool's training ground on Friday ahead of completing a £15m move from the Liberty Stadium.

The Welshman watched from the directors' box at Anfield on Thursday night as Brendan Rodgers' team sealed their place in the Europa League play-off draw by sweeping aside FC Gomel 3-0 to record a 4-0 aggregate win over the two legs.

It is understood that Liverpool have agreed to triple Allen's Swansea salary, which is worth £15,000-a-week, and supplement his new £45,000-a-week deal with a £2m signing-on fee.

He will become Rodgers' second major signing at Anfield following the capture of Fabio Borini, who joined from Roma earlier this summer in a deal worth up to £11.2m.


Liverpool triggered a release clause in Allen's contract by tabling a £15m bid and the deal became inevitable once the midfielder made it clear to Swansea officials that he wanted to have the chance to speak to the Merseysiders.
