Adam Lallana is poised to agree a short-term deal with Liverpool that will enable him to stay at Anfield for their title coronation.
The England international’s current contract is set to expire on June 30; Premier League clubs have long identified him as one of the summer’s main Bosman deals and he is expected to move to Leicester, even though Tottenham, Arsenal, Bournemouth and Burnley have all registered interest.
It would have been odd, though, had Lallana left before the end of this campaign, given he has spent six years on Merseyside and the fact he is regarded as such an important part of the dressing room by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
