A £40m England defender has snubbed interest from both Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur to complete a move to Liverpool. The Reds are believed to have won the race for the highly rated international, who will now add depth and quality to their backline.
Liverpool are in the market for a centre-back, and their need for a defender is set to increase due to the imminent departure of Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen.
The Merseyside giants missed out on signing Dean Huijsen earlier in the summer when the Spanish defender snubbed interest from Anfield to move to Real Madrid.
Liverpool are now accelerating their efforts to bring in a centre-back and are set to beat Newcastle to the signature of an England defender in the ongoing window.

Liverpool to beat Newcastle to the signing of an England defender
Liverpool have stepped up their efforts to sign Guehi and are even prepared to wait until next year to sign him on a free transfer.
Newcastle United have been chasing him since last summer, and even Tottenham are also keen, but according to Football Insider, the England star wants Liverpool.
He has snubbed interest from the other two Premier League clubs, and wants to join Liverpool who are competing at the top of the Premier League and the Champions League.
Liverpool have already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with his agents, and will soon open negotiations with Crystal Palace for his signature.
Guehi wants the move and has verbally agreed to move to Anfield in the ongoing summer transfer window.
Palace want a package of around £50m from his departure, but Liverpool are keen to sign him for a deal worth £40m as they push to secure a deal soon.
