Former Liverpool defender Daniel Cleary is on the verge of a move to Blues, according to reports.

It is understood that several clubs have been looking at Cleary but Liverpool youth team correspondent Scott Taylor is claiming that Cleary is ‘close` to joining Blues in a permanent deal.

The 20 year-old Dublin born central defender has confirmed his departure from Anfield by Tweeting “Been a tough day saying goodbye to everybody in the club like to say thanks to everyone at @LFC for everything! Time to move on for me”.

Other reports suggest Gary Rowett is a huge admirer of Cleary who will be signed as a development squad player before being fast tracked to the first team.

Cleary was recently named amongst Liverpool`s substitutes for a Europa League tie against Bordeaux but has been released from his Anfield contract.
