Tsimika featured in the Europa League as his side dumped Arsenal out of the competition in the last 32 but were knocked out by another Premier League side Wolves in the round of 16.
Liverpool want a back-up for Andy Robertson in their left-wing back and after being unable to agree on a fee for Norwich City star Jamal Lewis, they have turned their attentions to the Greek star.
Tsimika has been on Liverpool's radar for a long time as they believe he can develop into a world-class left-back and his value can rise in the current economic climate.
It is understood that the player has arrived at Liverpool for a medical and to discuss personal terms.
