Liverpool are set to sign Samed Yesil, an 18 year old forward, from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee in the region of £1 million.

Quick, someone look him up in FM!

Should be interested to bring in another youngster for the ressies.

@TonyBarretTimes
£1 million seems low to me for a player of Yesil's potential & reputation. That was the figure I was quoted but it could be higher.

@TonyBarretTimes Seem to remember #LFC picking up a pair of U-17 World Cup stars for significantly more a few years back ...

I first met @TonyBarretTimes in Madrid in Feb '09. Today, in Samed Yesil, he has finally found a player he's heard of and I haven't.

Meanwhile, as #mcfc close in on Richard Wright, we finally have proof that Brian Marwood's just taking the piss out of Mancini now.


The last one obvioulsy has nothing to do with this story - but I thought it was funny!

Great to see us spending on youth - looks like FSV have made their decisions with regards to young players...

On a seperate note - it's also great to see the media not having a clue... Where were all the ITS's on this one?!

BTW, anyone know ANYTHING about this kid yet?!?

Bwahhh - yes!

I think a few are still lost in the epic David Villa thread too...

Got a really impressive goalscoring record at youth level apparently.

LFC News ‏@LFCTransferNRS
Samed Yesil scored 19 goals in 21 matches for Germany U17 and 29 goals in 23 matches for Leverkusen U-19.

BTW, anyone know ANYTHING about this kid yet?!?

Nothing really...

Apparently Wenger went in for him last year, he was the second top scorer in the U17 world cup last year - as a youth player he has banged 19 golas in 21 games (Germany U17 Team) - 29 in 23 for the youth setup at Leverkusen.

Bwahhh - yes!

Gazza Bazza & Silva too.

Incidently, anyone know the most pages for a thread in the transfer section (both one that happened and one that didn't??).

Villa must be up there I'd imagine

Impressive numbers.

Little quick guy / all round striker / head on a stick?!?!

I've read on Twitter (yeah I know) that in Germany they reckon he can become a bit like Miroslav Klose, so a poacher.

That'll do me, he's the new Klose!

Every kid we sign has to be the new somebody, it's an unwritten rule.

Rumours circling of Liverpool signing Yesil for £1m. 'Steal' is an understatement for a player of his talent. 56 goals in 63 apps since '10

Reckon he may be in and around the first team? I wouldn't rule it out, even though I haven't seen the lad play and no F**k all about him.

Beating Arsenal to another player.
Lovely!

I know this fella now. I watched a lot of the u17 World Cup and he was massively impressive. Check this out:

Samed Yesil Welcome to Liverpool FC

Currently trending #1 worldwide on twiter apparently!

I'm playing way to much FIFA . Yesil is a quick , small, technical type forward with plenty of talent. Surely would be on the bench if signed.

Thanks Sami.
Glad we've finally got scouts in Germany.

Agreed, such an untapped market, love signing Germans and Bundesliga players, they have a certain pedigree about them.
