Insua Signs New Pool Contract


Liverpool have tied down their talented young defender Emiliano Insua to a new three-year contract this afternoon.

19-year-old former Boca Juniors player Insua is a full-back, whose best position is in the left full-back role.

And the news that he has signed a new contract will come as a boost to fans of the Merseyside giants as the Argentinean is tipped to have a hot future in the game.

The deal to keep Insua, who last year was a regular for Liverpool’s reserve side that won the title, will keep him at Anfield until June of 2011.

To date, Argentina Under-20 international regular Insua has made just five senior appearances for the club, three of which have been in the Premiership.

The summer transfer activities are picking up for Liverpool as they have reportedly stepped closer to signing Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry after the England international was disciplined by his current club due to criticising manager Martin O’Neill in a newspaper interview.

Attacking midfielder Anthony Le Tallec has gone out the other way, joining French outfit Le Mans on a permanent deal, having spent last season on loan there, for an undisclosed fee. Le Tallec had been a Liverpool player for five years, but the vast majority of his spell was spent away from Anfield in loan stints.

Too bad the man dubbed the 'new Zidane' Le Tallec can't lives up to expectations.

Insua is a good signing by Rafa, give him a couple of years. This boy will shine in PL.

Harry Kewell injuries marred season also ruined his career at Anfield. Kewell now ply his trade at Galatasaray.

Sad that Alonso has to make way for Barry.
