Voronin set for Reds switch
Bayern Leverkusen striker Andrei Voronin has reportedly clinched a
deal to join Liverpool in the summer.
The Ukrainian international is out of contract at the end of the
season and has reached a agreement that will see him join The Reds
on a four-year contract in June.
Voronin had been linked with a move to Celtic in December but will
now join Craig Bellamy, Peter Crouch, Robbie Fowler and Dirk Kuyt
in Rafa Benitez's plans at Anfield.
The 27-year-old has bagged six goals in 20 league appearances for
the German club this season and, following Bayer's 1-0 defeat to
Hannover on Saturday, it was announced that the striker will pursue
a career in England come the end of the season.
Voronin is keen to widen his experiences after spending a decade in
Germany since joining Borussia Dortmund as an 18-year-old from his
native Ukraine.
"I have been in Germany for ten years now, that is a long time,"
said Voronin in Kicker. "I want to see something else."
Voronin's prospective arrival could provoke fresh doubts over
Fowler's future at Anfield, as the Reds hero also sees his contract
expire at the end of the season.
