Arthur Melo is flying to Liverpool as the club close in on a loan move for the Juventus midfielder.
The 26-year-old is expected to join the club on a straight season-long deal with no option or obligation to make it permanent.
Brazil international Arthur is due on Merseyside around lunchtime and expected to undergo a medical this afternoon. The transfer deadline is at 11pm in England.
Despite previously saying that Liverpool did not need midfield reinforcements, manager Jurgen Klopp admitted last week that the Reds may need other options in the middle of the park.
He said: "It must be the right player. Some players are just unavailable, that's how it is, but if we can do something, and if we will do something, then we are 100 per cent convinced about it. If we are not convinced, then we will not do it. That's the situation.
If it's the right player, we need him. If it's not the right player, we don't need him.
