Jay Spearing is set to be signed by Liverpool on a long-term contract as new Liverpool recruitment supremo Damien Comolli steps up his youth policy.
Comolli, 38, arrived at Anfield last month as director of football strategy following the club’s takeover by New England Sports Ventures.
He has been busy scouting for new players as well as tying down the future of the club’s brightest prospects.
Already since Comolli arrived, youngsters Daniel Pacheco and Martin Kelly have committed themselves to Liverpool until 2014.
Spanish forward Pacheco, 19, has signed a two-year contract extension and full-back Kelly, 20, has signed a three-year extension.
And now Mirrorsport understands Liverpool officials are close to getting midfielder Spearing, 22, to pen a new contract too.
Spearing, who has made 14 appearances for the club, still has 18 months to run on his deal at Anfield.
But Comolli wants the club’s brightest prospects nailed down to Liverpool.
And negotiations with Spearing have started about giving the starlet a new three-and-a-half-year deal.
