Dubai International Capital (DIC) should complete its takeover of English Premier League club Liverpool soon, club chief executive Rick Parry said.

"It is a case of finalising the due diligence and pulling everything together, which we hope will be completed relatively quickly," Parry told BBC radio.

"A huge amount of work has been going on. I imagine we'll have something to say relatively soon on that."

DIC, the investment arm of the Dubai government, has been holding talks with Liverpool for the past six weeks.

Parry also said Liverpool could add to their squad this month after they were knocked out of both the FA and League Cups on their home ground by Arsenal.
