Kuyt: Liverpool move is an honour

Holland striker Dirk Kuyt was set to undergo a medical at Liverpool today before finalising a four-year contract and completing his “dream” move to the Anfield club.

Kuyt played in the second half of Holland’s 4-0 win over the Republic of Ireland in Dublin last night before travelling on to Merseyside for what is believed to be a straight £10m (€14.7m) deal, with no player exchange as Liverpool had at first wanted.
