Liverpool's deal for free agent Victor Valdes could fall through.

The free agent goalkeeper is reluctant to come in to train with Liverpool and prove his fitness despite being out of the game for six months with a cruciate ligament injury, says the Mail on Sunday.

Liverpool want Valdes to provide competition for Simon Mignolet.

Valdes had originally been set for a move to mega-rich French side Monaco in the summer, but his injury put paid to the move.
