Liverpool look set to continue their astonishing summer of signings by adding former Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o to their squad, according to reports.

The ex-Barcelona marksman is having a medical outside of the UK today, with the deal likely to be wrapped up over the weekend, according to Goal.com.

The player has been linked with a move to Anfield this week despite interest from Everton and a number of clubs in Europe.

The deal is not thought to hinge on the Reds' £16m move for AC Milan's Mario Balotelli, who is also close to signing for the club.

The Italian has arrived at Melwood as he prepares to agree personal terms with the Reds ahead of his move from Serie A.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has been looking for strikers ever since losing Luis Suarez to Barcelona with the former Swansea manager accused of not filling the void left by the Uruguayan.

But he now looks to have answered those critics with his soon-to-be signings, even if they do bring a fair amount of baggage with them.
