the highly-rated United States youth international Marc Pelosi will join Liverpool's academy set-up after signing a deal with the club.
the 17-year-old midfielder, who has played 28 times for the USA Under-17s and scored eight goals and captained the side in this summer's youth-level World Cup in Mexico, has joined from De Anza Force in California.
the USA reached the second stage of the Under-17s tournament in Mexico but were eliminated in the first knockout round after a 4-0 defeat to Germany.
"We're determined to identify the best possible talent globally and I'm delighted we've been able to bring Marc in to the club," the academy director Frank McParland told liverpoolfc.tv.
