Liverpool sign Babel

Liverpool are set to sign striker Ryan Babel from Ajax after the two clubs agreed an £11.5m deal for the player.

The Premier League club have told BBC Sport that the deal to sign for the 20-year-old has not yet been completed.

But a statement on the Ajax website said: 'The striker, who had a contract until 2010, will sign a five-year deal with the Champions League finalists.'

Babel was a member of the Dutch team that won the European Under-21 Championship in June.

He made his Ajax debut in 2004 aged 17 and has scored 24 goals in 11 matches for the Dutch club.
