Liverpool Football Club has confirmed the signing of Anderson Arroyo, an 18-year-old defender that we tipped you off about last month.
The youngster doesn’t qualify for a work permit at the moment so he has immediately been loaned out to Real Mallorca on an 18-month loan deal which we expected would be the case.
Arroyo, who currently plays at Under 20 level for Colombia, is known for his blistering pace which also makes him comfortable going forward and playing on either wing.
The 18-year-old was snapped up by the Reds after he impressed during a trial in 2016.

‘The 18-year-old – a Colombia U20 international – has joined the Reds from Fortaleza CEIF in his home country, for whom he made 22 appearances during the past three seasons, after a deal was reached during the January transfer window.
‘Arroyo has departed for a temporary spell in Spain, where he will spend the remainder of this campaign and the whole of the next with Segunda B leaders Mallorca.’
