He is an attacking midfielder and was first noticed by Liverpool's scouts in the U-17 European Championships.

His transfer went through officially on Monday, the 22nd of August for a compensation fee thought to be in the region of 190,000 pounds, a sell-on clause is also included in the deal along with appearance-related payments. For those who really like details he signed the deal 18:29 local time (accuracy is the key :-).
