Liverpool close to signing U20 star

English Premier League giants Liverpool are close to signing Ghana U20 star Mumuni Abubakar.

The New Edubiase United captain impressed Kop boss Kenny Dalglish on trial this month.

Abubakar returned home on Friday and meet expectations after playing in friendly with the Liverpool reserve side against Tranmere Rovers.

The 18-year-old: "They were impressed by my performances during training and the match that I played. The technical team like my style of play, so hopefully they will sign me," the New Edubiase United skipper told Joy Sports.

"When you go to trials, they talk to your agent and not you the player. Liverpool is talking with my agent (Oliver Arthur) now.

"They're impressed with my performances so we should get a favourable response."

Abubakari was spotted by Liverpool scouts during a friendly with the Ghana U20 against Serie A side Parma in November last year.
