The imposing forward had stated previously that he wished to join the Fratton Park side, only for Liverpool to refuse the south coasters’ advances.
So fervent were Crouch’s desires to move to Pompey that he allegedly turned down moves elsewhere, stating that he would run down his one year deal on Merseyside unless given the chance to head south.
Liverpool, then, have apparently acquiesced and accepted a £10m bid for the England international, which will be lodged with the Football Association on Monday morning.
Should Crouch agree terms with Harry Redknapp’s side then the move could even be completed on the same day.
The Reds, who will receive £8m up front, will then be able to focus on new targets such as Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry.
