LIVERPOOL hope to conclude the signing of Daniel Agger by the weekend.
Brondby's chief executive returns from holiday tomorrow, when negotiations to bring the Dane to Anfield will enter the final stages.
The major obstacles which blocked the transfer last summer have been overcome, as Liverpool close in on a player who's been a consistent target of manager Rafa Benitez.
The 21-year-old centre-half is already preparing for the switch to Merseyside, with the fee likely to be around £5.5m.
Agger should become the second significant signing of January, following Dutchman Jan Kromkamp, who is tying up the formalities of his transfer today.
Kromkamp was undergoing a medical at Melwood this afternoon before completing the deal which saw Josemi sign for Villarreal.
Meanwhile, Deportivo Saprissa winger Christian Bolanos is currently trying to convince Benitez he's the man to fill the right midfield vacancy in the squad.
The 21-year-old Costa Rican arrived at Melwood on trial on Monday, and has so far impressed the Reds staff.
Most of the Liverpool squad have had two days off following their exertions over the festive period as Benitez ponders his options ahead of the trip to Luton.
Scott Carson is in line for an appearance at Kenilworth Road as Benitez makes changes, although he's unlikely to rest all his senior stars.
A strong squad is expected to travel to Luton, but rookie Carson is expected to be handed an opportunity to impress.
