Liverpool are set to confirm the signing of Nigeria youth international Taiwo Awoniyi and reports claim he will be loaned out to a German club immediately the deal is done.
The 18 year-old striker will join from Imperial Academy back in his homeland for an initial fee of around £800,000 that could rise to around £3m with add-ons.
Liverpool have beaten off the likes of Porto and Monaco to land the frontman, who has been likened to Christian Benteke.
Awoniyi has represented Nigeria at youth level from under-15 upwards and already received a first call-up to the senior squad.
Liverpool plan to loan Awoniyi out once his move his completed as he doesn’t yet qualify for a work permit, with Germany his most likely destination.
