on Friday ahead of signing a one-year deal, Goal understands.
Everton's late interest in the 33-year-old had threatened to derail
Liverpool's move, with Roberto Martinez's side ready to offer a
two-year contract, but the striker is excited by the prospect of
working under Brendan Rodgers.
The Cameroon international's medical is taking place outside of the
UK, while the deal could be finalised before Liverpool face Manchester
City on Monday evening.
Eto'o is available on a free transfer having left Chelsea at the end
of last season and had held talks with Ajax earlier this summer before
the Dutch club pulled out of negotiations.
Eto'o scored 12 goals in 34 appearances for Chelsea last season but
hit out at Jose Mourinho after the 51-year-old joked about not knowing
the striker's real age.
Liverpool are also poised to complete the signing of Mario Balotelli
in a EURO 20 million deal from AC Milan.
The Italy international has said goodbye to his team-mates at the
Serie A club and has travelled to England for a medical.
