Liverpool are poised to sign Serbian midfielder Marko Grujic after Red Star Belgrade confirmed they have accepted a £5.1m bid for the 19-year-old.

Grujic has been the subject of a number of bids after a string of fine performances for Red Star, who are 25 points clear at the top of the Serbian SuperLiga, with both Anderlecht (£1.5m) and Stuttgart (£3.7m) failing with offers.

The move looked to have hit a stumbling block when the player's father revealed he had confiscated his son's passport because of concerns about a move to England.
