Liverpool to sign Chelsea’s Dominic Solanke

Liverpool are to sign 19-year-old striker Dominic Solanke from Chelsea.

A Premier League tribunal will set the compensation fee as the player is under 24. It is expected that Liverpool will have to pay out around £3million for him after beating off competition from Celtic and RB Leipzig.

Solanke, who is currently away with England at the Under 20 World Cup in South Korea, is seen as ‘one for the future’ so he will start his Anfield career with the Liverpool Under 23s next term.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will play a pre-season friendly against Athletic Bilbao in Dublin on Saturday 5th August at the Aviva Stadium.
