Liverpool are selling young goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux to Swindon Town, for whom he played on loan last season.
That’s according to BBC Wiltshire, who also suggest a £400k fee has been agreed between ourselves and the League One club.
FOOTBALL @BBCWiltshire understands deal struck for Lawrence Vigouroux to sign for @Official_STFC permanently for around £400,000 #stfc

The 22-year-old stands at 6 ft. 5″ and is mighty talented, but with Loris Karius signing and Danny Ward continuing his development, Vigouroux is effectively surplus to our requirements.
At his age, he can’t be playing Under-21 football anymore, and a move will be the best chance he’ll have of eventually establishing himself as a top keeper.
It’s perhaps a small surprise Swindon have chosen to sign Vigouroux permanently, after he decided to pay a £50 fine for lateness in pennies last season!
Swindon terminated his loan as a result, but it was reinstated after he apologised for his petty behaviour.
We wish him well with the League One outfit, and hope we see him back up the leagues one day if this story proves to be true.
