Liverpool have agreed to sign teenage French defender Billy Koumetio from US Orleans Loiret.
The 16-year-old arrived in England earlier this week to complete the deal.
Koumetio played for Lyon before moving to Lorient aged 11, and underwent a trial spell at Liverpool in November.
Liverpool’s Under-23s sit fifth in Premier League 2 while the youth team lead the Premier League Under-18s.
Koumetio, a left-sided defender, is the latest arrival in a string of young purchases as Liverpool look to strengthen their junior ranks.
While Koumetio is another youngster through the door, there are unlikely to be any additions to Jurgen Klopp's first team.
