Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is close to agreeing a pre-contract deal for Ukraine hitman Andriy Voronin.
The Bayer Leverkusen striker is available on a free in the summer - and Benitez has stolen a march on a host of interested clubs.
Voronin, 27, played the entire 90 minutes of the midweek UEFA Cup win over Blackburn but the German outfit have been reluctant to renew his current deal.

*****LATEST*****
*eurosport are reporting it a done deal KK -
Liverpool are set to sign Ukraine international Andriy Voronin in the summer from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
The striker is out of contract at the end of the season, and it was widely reported that he would leave on a Bosman, with Celtic said to be one of the sides chasing him.
However, after Leverkusen's 1-0 defeat to Hannover on Saturday it was revealed that Voronin would sign for Liverpool instead.
The 27-year-old has scored six league goals this season, and was a key member of the Ukraine team that reached the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup.
He has reportedly agreed a four-year deal with the Anfield club, and his signing looks set to be the first confirmed move under Liverpool's new American owners.
*thanks eurosport
