Liverpool have reportedly 'beaten a host of Premier League clubs' to sign 'highly-rated' England youth international Diego Lattie.
According to the Liverpool Echo:
"[Lattie] has long been on Liverpool’s radar...and Academy staff moved quickly after it became clear he could be snapped up without the club having to pay a compensation fee".
Some info about Lattie:
* 16-year old right-back, who can also play at centre-back.
* On Man City's books City’s books since the age of nine, but City decided against offering Lattie a professional contract.
* Boyhood Liverpool fan. 4 apps for England's Under-17 team.
* Lattie allegedly rejected Manchester United, Everton, Norwich, Stoke, Sunderland and Aston Villa to sign for Liverpool on a 3-year deal.
* Apr 2015: Helped England U16s beat France 3-1 in the final of the Montaigu Tournament.
* Is already training with the Reds’ under-16s squad and will join the under-18s in pre-season.
The question is, why did Man City decided to cut Lattie loose?
