Liverpool agree £35m Carroll deal', Torres heads for Chelsea medical

Liverpool believe they have sealed a £35million deal for Newcastle's Andy Carroll after giving Fernando Torres permission to have a medical ahead of a possible move to Chelsea. The Spaniard is set to join Chelsea before tonight's 11pm transfer deadline in a deal worth up to £50million - and Liverpool could replace him with Newcastle's Andy Carroll. It's not known whether Torres' medical will be held in the north or closer to London - but sources were insisting the player was due at Chelsea's training ground later today.

Liverpool's move for Carroll looked off earlier today when Newcastle insisted he would not be sold. But United later postponed, then cancelled, Alan Pardew's press conference, leading to speculation that Mike Ashley was ready to cash in on his prize asset.

Liverpool first bid £25m, then appear to have landed the promising but troubled striker for an astonishing £35m.
