Liverpool reportedly agree to sign Mohamed Diame on a free transfer when his Wigan contract runs out on July 1.

Liverpool have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Mohamed Diame on a free transfer.

Diame was released by Wigan Athletic at the end of last season with a number of clubs interested in signing the defensive midfielder.

The likes of Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal have all reportedly looked at the Senegal international, but opted against making a bid due to the player's ill health.

Diame has a heart condition and keeps a defibrillator near to the touchline during games, but new Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers appears to be willing to take a risk on the midfielder.

Liverpool's initial plans to bring Diame to Anfield appeared to have been scuppered by the sacking of Kenny Dalglish, but Rodgers seems to have done enough to convince the 24-year-old otherwise.

Diame, who joined Wigan for £3m in 2009, has made 10 appearances for the Senegal national side and will officially become a Liverpool player on July 1.
