Liverpool have also sealed the signing of teenage striker Aaron King from Rushden and Diamonds.
King, 16, impressed during a recent trial period at Anfield and has now signed a two-year scholarship agreement.
“We are all absolutely thrilled for Aaron – this is a brilliant achievement for everyone involved in his development throughout the five years that he has been with us,” Rushden’s head of youth development Paul Driver said.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s Argentinian winger Sebastian Leto, who spent last season on loan at Greek club Olympiakos, has revealed he is close to signing for their Athenian rivals Panathinaikos.
He said: “I think that the possibilities to play at Panathinaikos next season right now are more than 90%.
“I have been waiting for something from Olympiakos all these weeks but they didn’t make a move to buy me so far.”
