Liverpool are expected to make Fulham's Steve Finnan their first summer signing in a £4 million, according to reports today.
It is understood that Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier is close to completing a deal for the Republic of Ireland defender, who will play his final game for Fulham at Charlton on Sunday.
Steed Malbranque may also join his Fulham team-mate Finnan at Anfield in a £3 million deal.
Reports also claim Liverpool will then turn their attentions to Blackburn's Damien Duff.
If Liverpool fail to beat Chelsea on Sunday, they will miss out on a Champions League windfall and be consigned to the UEFA Cup.
