Liverpool's hot-shot striker deal completed 'shortly' - reports

Liverpool are ready to seal a deal for Swiss striker Nicholas Hunziker, according to The Mirror.

The 15-year-old scored a hat-trick for his country's youth team on debut and has received rave reviews from the Anfield.

Kenny Dalglish reportedly sent his chief scout to watch Hunziker during the weekend, leaving Liverpool as favourites to land the striker.

 

As well as spending over £100 this year on their first team squad, Liverpool have also installed a policy of bringing in young players to bolster their youth ranks, with striker Marco Bueno and Nacho both joining in the summer.

The signing of Hunziker would represent another attempt to secure a successful future for the club under Fenway Sports Group's tenure at Liverpool.

England youth internationals John Flanagan, Martin Kelly and Jack Robinson both broke through during last season.
