Premier League big boys Liverpool have paid an undisclosed fee for Luton youngster Dave Moli.
Moli who is just 14-years-old, had been part of the Hatters under-15 side as a striker, and will now move with his family to Merseyside, where he will continue schooling and training at the Red’s academy.
The youngsters’ impressive displays for the Hatters’ youth team alerted the attention of several Premier League clubs.
Luton has already reported another Premier League club to the Football Association for making an illegal approach for the player.
However Luton claim Liverpool's approach through the Blue Square Premier club had been accepted.
Luton's youth development officer Gregg Broughton said: "We never like to lose talented players, but it is important that we do not stand in the way of young players' development."
Liverpool have intensified their search for young players following a restructuring of the reserve and academy set-up, and manager Rafael Benitez is impressed by the changes that have been made.
The Spaniard said: "It is much better now. The players can see the difference and I am sure it will be easier for them to progress.
"It is always important to develop your own players. Local players have passion and desire and I think that is the key if you want to be consistent.
