Bobby Adekanye announces Liverpool move

Barcelona youth product Bobby Adekanye has signed for Liverpool to become the Reds' seventh summer signing.

The 16-year-old was ineligible to represent the Catalans after his disputed signing in 2011 resulted in the Spanish giants being slapped with a transfer ban from FIFA last year.

Consequently, the Nigeria-born winger has elected to leave Catalunya and has now joined the Merseyside club, he confirmed on Instagram.

I am very happy to sign for Liverpool ⚪️🔴📝
