Liverpool’s first-ever trip to China is going to begin this Sunday and include a friendly against Guangdong. But it could end with some newly acquired Chinese players.
Damien Comolli, LFC's director of football, told LFCtour.com that the club will be scouting talent in China during the trip.
"We've organized things in China, organized games to watch, trials to watch, we'll watch young players, and it'll be very interesting for us to see what level there is," Comolli said.
Comolli added that LFC has already invited two U17 players to try out in July. Despite China's absence in the soccer world, Comolli said he thinks the odds favor a good player coming from China because of the country's population.
"As everyone knows, China has got a fantastic basketball player, Yao Ming, they are very good in track and field, so there is no reason we can't find a player there. Obviously in a few days we might not find someone but we'll have a good understanding of the level there is and of Chinese players," Comolli said.
