Liverpool agree £2.3m Brad Jones fee as Middlesbrough keeper seals Anfield move
On the move: Middlesbrough's Brad Jones
Liverpool are poised to seal a £2.3million deal for Brad Jones after the Middlesbrough goalkeeper passed a medical on Monday.
The 28-year-old Australia international travelled to the north-west to discuss personal terms and undergo physical tests, which Liverpool tonight confirmed he successfully came through.
It is understood the deal had been held up by a difference of opinion over how the fee was to be paid.
Reds boss Roy Hodgson has earmarked Jones, who qualifies as a 'home-grown' player under the new rules after joining the Teessiders as a trainee, as suitable cover for first-choice goalkeeper Jose Reina.
Liverpool confirmed the fee on their official website and stated that Jones should finalise his move on Tuesday.
Jones made 24 league appearances in the Championship for Middlesbrough last season, his most in a single campaign during his eight years at the Teesside club, during which he has spent loan spells with Blackpool, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham and Stockport.

Liverpool Table A Bid For PSV Eindhoven Striker Ola Toivonen - Report
Liverpool have made an offer of approximately £9 million for PSV Eindhoven striker Ola Toivonen, according to skysports.com.
With Fernando Torres needing support up front, Reds manager Roy Hodgson has made it clear he is interested in the Swedish international.
However, the 24-year-old has refused to comment on speculation surrounding him with a move from Holland.
The Swede appeared against Sibir Novosibirsk in PSV’s Europa League Cup tie which makes him ineligible to play for Liverpool in Europe if he was to make the switch to Anfield.

TRANSFER NEWS
PSV plan to keep Toivonen
By Soccernet staff
Ola Toivonen remains a key part of PSV's plans for the season
PSV Eindhoven have told Liverpool they have no intention of selling striker Ola Toivonen this summer.
Liverpool are strongly rumoured to be interested in Sweden striker Toivonen, 24, and his PSV team-mate Carlos Salcido. Academy ambassador Kenny Dalglish was reported to have been in the stands at the Phillips Stadion on Sunday as PSV beat AZ Alkmaar 3-1.
However, when asked about the situation, PSV sporting director Marcel Brands told fotbollskanalen.se: "I also read about that (Dalglish's trip) in the newspaper, but I didn't see him at the stadium and it is not important. We don't want to lose Ola during this transfer window.
"They called us last Thursday, in the morning, and asked how much we wanted for Ola Toivanen, but our answer was clear: we will not sell him at this point. We have not heard from them since.
"To have people from other clubs in the stands is quite normal. PSV are a big club and we get visits like that every week."
PSV boss Fred Rutten added: "I expect Ola to stay with us this season."
Roy Hodgson watched Toivonen first-hand when Sweden beat Scotland 3-0 last week.
Juventus striker David Trezeguet - who won Euro 2000 with France - could also be an option for the Reds. His agent claims that Liverpool have shown an interest in the 32-year-old.
"An interest of Liverpool? There are requests, not just from Liverpool," Caliendo told calciomercato.it."In Spain there is the interest of Real Zaragoza and Hercules. We are considering [offers], today [Monday] is a day of reflection, we will know more tomorrow."
