Southampton centre‑back Virgil van Dijk will join Liverpool when the transfer window re‑opens on 1st January in a world record £75m (pounds) deal.
The Netherlands international had been expected to join the Reds last summer after he handed in a transfer request.
But a move fell through when Liverpool apologised for making an alleged illegal approach for the 26‑year‑old.
The fee is the most ever paid for a defender.
Van Dijk said in a statement he was "delighted and honoured" to sign for Liverpool and accepted he had a "difficult last few months" at St Mary's.
