Solanke to join Liverpool

Liverpool has won the race to sign Chelsea youth team striker Dom Solanke after beating off competition from a number of Premier League clubs, Celtic and RB Leipzig, according to Press Association Sport.
Solanke, 19, has allowed his contract to run down at the champions after failing to agree terms on a new deal and PA Sport reports he has opted to join Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
A fee, in the region of £2 million to £3 million, for Solanke will be decided by a tribunal and the player, who has agreed a contract under £20,000-a-week, will initially go into the club’s under-23 side.
Klopp used a number of the U23s squad — such as Sheyi Ojo, Ovie Ejaria, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Harry Wilson and Ben Woodburn — in the first team last season and is keen for that group to be more competitive to supplement the senior squad and also play in cup matches as they now have Champions League football to contend with.
Solanke, who is currently part of Paul Simpson’s squad for the U20 World Cup in South Korea, made his senior debut for Chelsea at the age of 17 in 2014 but has failed to break through since and spent last season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem.
