KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Liverpool beat Chelsea and Real Madrid to sign Ale

Liverpool Football Club today completed the signing of Irish starlet Alex O'Hanlon. The signature of the 15-year-old left-sided player probably won't excite many fans but it should.

Reds boss Kenny Dalglish has been tracking O'Hanlon ever since he was at the Academy and within days of his appointment as Liverpool's permanent manager, he has overseen a huge coup.

Numerous clubs were desperate to land the youngster, including Spanish giants Real Madrid. They, along with Chelsea, Arsenal and even Everton (as recent as 3 weeks ago), laid on the full works for O'Hanlon and his family but he has turned them all down in favour of Kenny Dalglish's new regime at Anfield.

A source told KOPTALK: "He's a Manchester United fan but he wanted to play for Liverpool. All the major clubs in England wanted him, plus he enjoyed a week with Real Madrid, but he chose Liverpool because he wanted to work under Dalglish and because 'the club felt more right than any of the others'.

"He spent time with Chelsea but on the plane on the way home he said he'd never go there.

"Liverpool showed him and his family the most respect. He's come here because he believes Liverpool are a massive club on the verge of great things."

We understand that Liverpool have invested a tidy sum in the player who was at Melwood this afternoon with his father and representatives to complete the signing of his 3-year contract.

The source added: "He's got a long way to go. He's still a young lad but Kenny is absolutely delighted to have secured this transfer. They have spent a lot of money to make it happen."

Arsenal tried to hijack the deal as recently as last week but failed.

Earlier today we recorded O'Hanlon and his representatives at Melwood.

"havnt seen him yet but think hes a great player/prospect because of all the attention.
and lmao at hed never go to chelsea lool class.
plus a scum fan but rrather come lfc, he knows he simply juss knows."

so that was the kid in the video dunc posted..?

yup mostly likly, but.. the rumour is true that maxi's agent was at anfield vs tottenham, hes agent is the same as aguero's.
with maxi not in talks or is undercover with a new contract it could be about aguero for a possible move to lfc.

ive been researchig and it look more n more like its talks between agueros agent and lfc for a possible move. dont take my word for it but be cautious and excited lol.

Do we know if this agent represents anyone else?

Pique, Aguero, Hunt, and Kraft would be my picks as players, but obvously Pique is a no go but Hunt is an up and coming winger who England wanted to choose English nationality but he chose germany, then Kraft is leaving Bayern and is a good yound keeper not of Dea Gea quality but would be good reserve for Pepe till he leaves season after next, then obviously Aguero.

Cheers Desh....the plot thickens.

Can't take that seriously Dash no offence it reckons Maxi is worth 7M (9M euro's) no way and Aguero will cost way more than that. It's just pure specualtion regarding prices.

Never heard of this lad but I trust kenny if he thinks he's good enough. 15 years old too so we probably won't see him anytime soon unless he's messi's brother

Spoke to my brother in law's brother last night, he works at the Chelsea in their academy set up and he hadn't even heard of this lad untill I quizzed him last night. So can't see Chelsea being after him in all fairnes, maybe the the other teams might. One snippet of news though is that they will let sturridge go if the right price and they are looking at Wickham.

Are you saying we should go for sturridge liddle?
