Soccer:Ryan Babel could be tweeting his opinions in German shortly after Liverpool accepted an undisclosed bid from Hoffenheim for the Dutch winger. The 24-year-old, who joined Liverpool in 2007, has travelled to Germany to discuss personal terms with the Bundesliga club.

Babel, who was on the bench on Sunday during the derby draw with Everton, failed to establish a regular first team place with Liverpool and has also been on the fringes of the Dutch national side.

The two clubs have agreed on a fee in the region of €7 million and Babel is set to fill a void which has emerged in the German side’s attack this winter.

Hoffenheim slipped to ninth in the Bundesliga table after going down 2-1 to Werder Bremen last weekend and they are currently five points adrift of Bayern Munich. The Bavarians occupy fifth place, which would be good enough for a place in the Europa League next season.

The 24-year-old could make his debut against St Pauli on Sunday, should the deal be completed in the next few days.
