Wigan Athletic striker Emile Heskey is returning to Liverpool.
The Daily Mail says Heskey has agreed a pre-contract to return to his old club Liverpool in the summer.
Rafael Benitez is reluctant to pay £4million to sign the England striker from Wigan in the transfer window and has decided to wait until he is out of contract.
Heskey, 31 yesterday, left Anfield in May 2004 to join Birmingham for £6.25m.
