DELIGHTED Danny Wilson signed in at Liverpool yesterday – then vowed to prove wrong those who believe the teenager is not ready for such a move.

Wilson passed a medical and put pen to paper on a three-year contract after Glasgow Rangers agreed the £2million sale of the centre-back, a fee that could ultimately rise to £5m.

The 18-year-old, who won the SFA and Football Writers' Young Player of the Year awards last season, revealed he turned down a number of Champions League clubs in favour of a transfer to Anfield.

And the defender is determined to rise to the challenge of making the step up to the Premier League at such a formative stage in his career.

“Coming here from Scotland, people may say I might not be ready for this, but that is a challenge I want to put on myself and that's the reason I came here,” said Wilson.

“Everyone knows about the history of this football club with 18 league titles.

“It wasn't a difficult decision to come here as Liverpool are not a team who come in for you every day, so I can't wait to get started. There were other clubs interested in me who are in the Champions League, but once Liverpool came in for me there was only one team I wanted to go to.”
