Liverpool are close to signing Nicholas Hunziker from Basel ahead of some of Europe’s top sides, according to The Mirror.
Hunziker is a 15-year old midfielder and came to the attention of Liverpool after scoring a hat-trick for the Swiss youth side on his debut.
Liverpool scout Frank McParland has been to check on the youngster on numerous occasions and it is thought he has persuaded manager Kenny Dalglish to move for the Basel player before he is snapped up by another club.
Hunziker would be able to move to Anfield for a minimal fee, and the Reds are keen to tie down a deal for the player who has had scouts flocking from all over Europe to check on his talent.
Dalglish has been keen to build a youthful side at Liverpool after bringing through Martin Kelly, John Flanagan and Conor Coady to the first-team, and is now looking around the continent to bring the best talent to the club.
It is thought that Hunziker would jump at the chance to move to Liverpool with the club making progress under the stewardship of club legend Dalglish in his second spell as manager.
