Skysports.com understands Liverpool youngster Christopher Buchtmann is poised to join Premier League rivals Fulham.

Fulham have made a move to sign the highly-rated German in a cut-price deal as Roy Hodgson looks to bolster his squad.

Buchtmann joined Liverpool in the summer of 2008 from Borussia Dortmund and he was tipped for a big future at Anfield.

The 17-year-old was a member of Liverpool’s youth side that reached the FA Youth Cup final and he helped Germany win last summer’s European Under 17 Championship.

However, Buchtmann has failed to impress Reds boss Rafa Benitez and he has allowed the German, who can play at left-back or left midfield, to leave for Fulham. (Sky Sports)

This would be quite some move for the young German who hasn’t had any chance of a look in at Liverpool and Rafa Benitez seems more than likely to allow the youngster to leave for a fee in the region of around £2m. The left sided teenager did a cracking job in the youth team and has represented his country with distinction but appears set to leave Anfield.

A move to Craven Cottage may well be just what the youngster needs and under Roy Hodgson, one of the shrewdest and tactically astute boss’s in the Premier League, he could carve our a career for himself.
