Liverpool’s Summer Looks Bright with New Signing

In their first summer swoop, Liverpool have agreed to a deal worth £1.3 million with Dutch outfit, PEC Zwolle, to sign their defender, Sepp van den Berg.

According to reports, the Reds beat out the likes of Bayern Munich, Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Sampdoria to land the 17-year-old’s signature.

Van den Berg made 15 appearances in the Dutch top flight last season, helping Zwolle to a 13th place finish. In addition, he plays as an international for the Netherlands at an Under-19s level, having won four caps to date.

Speaking to a soccer media outlet, the teenage defender said: “It’s just an amazing feeling. [Liverpool] is, for me, the biggest club in the world, and it’s a dream come true. I am really excited.”

He added: “I’ve seen what kind of players from the academy grew into the first team here. It is unbelievable, especially when this kind of big club does that … I think this is the best place for me to grow, and hopefully play a lot of games here.”
