Liverpool will complete the signing of 16-year-old Ross County prospect Alex Cooper when the transfer window opens.
Liverpool have signed Alex Cooper from Ross County - a Scottish Second Division club in the Highlands.
16-year-old winger Cooper will move from Victoria Park to Anfield after the clubs agreed a £100,000 fee.
A winger capped by Scotland Under-16s, he was reportedly tracked by Jose Mourinho when the Portuguese was Chelsea boss.
But Liverpool wowed the youngster and Cooper has signed with the Premiership giants until 2011. His father Neale, a former Aberdeen star, expressed his enthusiasm after seeing his son agree a dream move.
"All his family are delighted Alex has been given the opportunity to sign for Liverpool.
"He could have gone to one or two other clubs but he just loved the way he was treated by Liverpool when he was there."
