Liverpool chief Rick Parry admits some details of Ajax winger Ryan Babel's transfer still need to be ironed out.

Parry said today: "We've agreed the fee with West Ham for Yossi Benayoun. We're not quite there with Ryan Babel yet, but we've now been given permission by Ajax to talk to the player. We hope to reach an agreement with Ajax very shortly."

Dutch sources suggest that Babel will be due a healthy cut of any transfer fee from his move to Anfield.
