Reds win race for teenager keeper

Last updated: 21st December 2010  

Liverpool have raided Millwall to sign teenage goalkeeper Yusuf Mersin for an undisclosed fee.

The 15-year-old has caught the eye of the Liverpool scouts and they have moved to bring him to Anfield.

Millwall chief executive Andy Ambler has admitted the offer from Liverpool was too good to turn down and that a number of other Premier League clubs were chasing Mersin before he made the switch to Anfield.

"This has been going on a long time and we have turned down lots of offers from Premier League clubs," Ambler told the South London Press.

"But we would find it very hard to compete with the financial clout of the top-six clubs. Liverpool have chipped away and have a lot of money to spend on rebuilding their youth team.

"The money will be reinvested in the youth set-up - and we would always try to get the best deal for the club in these circumstances."

Mersin becomes the second Lions youngster to join the Reds in recent years following David Amoo's switch back in 2007.

Seems the owners are putting their money where their mouths are then.

Will be like David Martin and all the others, just more money wasted.
I hope I'm wrong though.

Liverpool have completed the signing of teenage goalkeeper Yusuf Mersin from Millwall.

 The 16-year-old has represented Turkey at U16 and U17 level and will join the Academy in the New Year.

He follows in the footsteps of David Amoo, who moved to Anfield from Millwall in 2007.

Welcome Yusuf  

Looking for a keeper!! hehehe

Haha good irony that.

Fortunately Wenger's actually got a bunch of good young keepers. Scznesky (or however you spell it) will turn out well I think.

We always did seem to over buy on the young keepers under Benitez I thought. Not really sure how many we have on the books still.

Good Luck Yusuf.
