"Several clubs have been in touch and Salomen should without a doubt be playing in England next season."
"He will cost between $10 and $11 million and we expect the deal to be completed from Friday."
Liverpool are to land the versatile 20 year old who can play in a defensive role in midfield or switch wide and play as a wing back.
The Anfield club have been negotiating with Olembe and are set to
make an announcement over the weekend.
Olembe would only be Houllier`s second summer signing following the arrival of Norwegian John Arne Riise as he believes his current squad is good enough to mount a serious title challenge next season.
Houllier received more good news about his majestic veteran Gary McAllister who has made a full recovery after picking up an injury in the Bayer Leverkussen friendly and is now set to fly to Singapore for a tour as planned.
