Liverpool face late competition from Tottenham for Dnipro winger Yevhen Konoplyanka.
A Liverpool delegation are in Ukraine this morning to close a deal for the midfielder.
There were also reports on Wednesday night that Tottenham were poised to make an 11th-hour bid for Konoplyanka, though their attempts to scupper Liverpool's move may have come too late, with the Merseysiders understood to be well advanced in their swoop for the 24-year-old.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has been building his ties with Ukrainian football over the past 18 months.
