Liverpool continue to splash the cash as they close in on two forward players, Divock Origi and Lazar Markovic.

The Reds are claimed to have agreed a deal with Lille for Belgian striker Origi and will open up contract negotiations with the player this week, according to the BBC.

The Daily Mail claims Markovic's 20million has been met by Liverpool, with Brendan Rodgers acting swiftly to spend the money he expects to receive from selling Luis Suarez to Barcelona.

Liverpool are also being linked with a surprise move for Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko, with reports in L'Equipe they are ready to rival Monaco for his signature. Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo claims defender Daniel Agger is on his way out of Anfield, however, and has been offered to Barcelona.

Ashley Cole is set to complete his move to Roma on a free transfer after the Serie A club tweeted a picture of the former Chelsea left-back with the message "Welcome to Rome, Ashley!"
