Official : Liverpool Confirm Signing Of Golden Ball Winner Of Nigerian Descent

Published: July 10, 2017

Liverpool have re-confirmed the signing of England U20 international of Nigerian descent Dominic Solanke on undisclosed terms, informs the official website of the Reds.

The Golden Ball winner at the 2017 Fifa U20 World Cup will wear the number 29 jersey for the 2017-2018 campaign.

''It feels amazing and everyone has made me feel welcome already,'' Solanke said to Liverpool's official website.

''Even just pulling on the training top, I was over the moon.

''Hopefully I can put on the shirt in the near future and make some good history here.''

Solanke joins Liverpool as a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Chelsea in June, but the Premier League champions will be compensated because the striker left the club before the age of 24 and he's an academy trained player.
