Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier says Rickie Lambert will prove a great signing for Liverpool.
Lambert is expected at Liverpool today for medical.
Le Tissier told talkSPORT: "I'm disappointed as a Saints fan but it's a fantastic move for him. It's been a fairytale for him and to get a chance to go to his hometown club and be at a club in the Champions League is an absolute dream come true for him. As a friend of his I'm chuffed to bits for him.
"A lot of people down the years have described him as a target man but he's a lot more than that. He's a very good footballer. He's got a cracking touch and a pass as good as anybody, so I don't see him having a problem fitting in at Liverpool.
"I can see why Brendan Rodgers has been looking so closely at the Southampton players. He feels they can come to Liverpool and slot into a number of different positions."
