Rickie Lambert to complete dream Liverpool return today

Southampton striker Rickie Lambert is set to complete his move to Liverpool later today. The Mail on Sunday says Lambert's Anfield move will be confirmed on Sunday after he passed a two-part medical, which began at Spire Hospital in Mossley Hill at 9am on Saturday, then completed at the club's Melwood training ground.

A £4million fee with Southampton and terms for a two-year contract had already been agreed.

It was another whirlwind day for Lambert, 32, who travelled up to Merseyside after England's 3-0 win over Peru on Friday night, then flew back to see his family on the south coast after the medical.

Released by Liverpool at 15, he forged his career in the lower leagues.

Lambert said: "The medical went well, but I can't really say anything else. It has been a crazy couple of years."
