Voronin set for summer move to Anfield

Ukraine striker Andriy Voronin is set to join Liverpool in the summer.

The 27-year-old played for Bayer Leverkusen as they lost to Hannover 1-0 in Germany's Bundesliga today.

And after the match it was announced Voronin would be moving to Anfield at the end of the season, with a four-year deal having reportedly been agreed.

Voronin, who has scored six goals in 20 league appearances for Leverkusen so far this season, featured in the Ukraine team that reached the quarter-finals of last year's World Cup.

His transfer looks set to be the first agreed at Anfield since the club agreed a £470million takeover with American tycoons George Gillett and Tom Hicks earlier this month.
