Liverpool have agreed a fee with West Ham for Yossi Benayoun, according to the Israeli international's agent.
News Sport understands a £4m transfer will be finalised for the 25-year-old West Ham midfielder on Wednesday.
Agent Ronen Katzav said: "Everybody would be happy to play for Liverpool. West Ham will always be in his heart but he is looking to move up a level."
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez said: "It's clear he'd like to come and he's a player I like."
Benayoun, Israel's national captain, moved to Upton Park from Racing Santander in a £2.5m deal in 2005.
He has played 72 games for the Hammers and scored eight goals.
The clubs have already done business this summer with striker Craig Bellamy moving to the capital from Merseyside in a £7.5m deal.
