Liverpool close to Nicholas Hunziker move

Liverpool are close to signing Swiss teenager Nicholas Hunziker.

Reds scout Frank McParland watched the 15-year-old Basel striker last week and has pushed the move into its final stages, according to The Mirror.

Hunziker drew interest from the Merseyside club after he scored a hat-trick on his debut for the Swiss youth team.

Liverpool, who are currently sixth in the Premier League table, take on Chelsea after the international break.
