when i read the headline in the echo:'liverpool to make their first signing of the summer' i got excited only to feel underwhelmed when i read that it was a player for the under23s.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, if he does sign for us, it has to be as a first team player due to our little error of judgement and subsequent ban on signing youth players?

He most def. was NOT signed for the u-23's, that's one of the reasons behind him leaving chelsea in the first place, because of limited 1st team chances and wage disputes.

Tristan, we would not be banned from signing him because he is over 16/ 17, and so can sign a professional contract.

Same reason why we would be able to sign Sessegnon who just turned 17 (that is if he doesn't go to Spurs as seems highly likely) .

Cheers JR, that clears that up. I wasn't 100% on the ruling.
