Liverpool agree £25m fee for Newcastle United forward Georginio Wijnaldum

Liverpool have agreed a £25million transfer fee with Newcastle for forward Georginio Wijnaldum. 

Talks are ongoing over the structure of payment which could yet see a player go on loan to Newcastle as part of the arrangement. 

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has taken his side to California for their US tour and hopes Wijnaldum, who figured as a late substitute for Newcastle on Wednesday, will join them soon. 

Wijnaldum scored 11 goals last season and ended the campaign as Newcastle's top scorer but his form dipped towards the end of the campaign which saw them relegated. 

He joined the Championship club in a £14.5m deal from then Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven last summer.
