Suarez stunner ends South Korean hopes
Liverpool have agreed a fee to sign Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez from Dutch club Ajax for £23m.
The deal for the 24-year-old striker is subject to Suarez passing a medical and agreeing personal terms with the Premier League club.
Liverpool initially bid £12.7m for Suarez, but Ajax told them to come back with a more "respectful" offer.
That led to Liverpool almost doubling their offer to tempt the Dutch giants to sell the forward.
Clubs usually have to pay a premium to sign players during the January transfer window - Bosnia striker Edin Dzeko reportedly cost Manchester City £27m earlier this month - and Ajax have made a £16.6m profit on a player they bought from Groningen for £6.4m in 2007.
