Liverpool finalise £10M deal for Dutch ace Kuyt

Liverpool are on the verge of landing Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt.

The Guardian says Kuyt has reached an agreement with Feyenoord that he will be permitted to leave Rotterdam for Anfield once a fee has been thrashed out between the clubs.
Reports in Holland last night suggested the striker had already met the Merseysiders' manager, Rafael Benitez, to discuss the transfer though negotiations between the two clubs are understood to be ongoing.
Kuyt has told Feyenoord he will only consider joining Liverpool, so thwarting hopes of an
auction with Newcastle United.
Funds are relatively tight at Anfield and, while Liverpool could offer Feyenoord a deal worth up to £10m for the international, they would look to stagger payments over the course of his contract.
