Liverpool are close to making Bolton Wanderers’ out-of-contract goalkeeper Adam Bogdan their third agreed signing of the summer.
The 27-year-old is available on a free transfer on 1 July having rejected the offer of a new deal at the Macron Stadium and has held talks over a move to Anfield.
The Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, needs back-up for Simon Mignolet after the club released Brad Jones at the end of last season and was impressed by the Hungary international when he gave a man-of-the-match performance at Anfield in last season’s FA Cup fourth round.
Rodgers had wanted a new goalkeeper to rival Mignolet as first choice in January but appears to have settled for experienced support instead after the Belgium international improved significantly in the second half of last season.

Bogdan is currently preparing for Hungary’s European Championship qualifier in Finland on Saturday but his agreement with Liverpool could be announced this week.
The Bolton keeper’s arrival follows the free signing of James Milner and the purchase of Danny Ings, who remains the subject of negotiations between Burnley and the Anfield club over his transfer fee.
