Northern Irish wonderkid Conor Bradley has confirmed in an interview that he will complete a transfer to Liverpool’s academy when he turns 16 on the 9th of July.

This story was broken today by the Ulster Herald, who have quotes from the exciting Northern Irish youngster as they detail his move to link up with the Reds after being a lifelong fan of the club.

“I can’t wait to get over it’s a great opportunity,” Bradley told the Ulster Herald. “But I know that the hard work is only starting.

“I’ll be part of the U18 squad and the good thing is I know the coaches and I know most of the boys in the team.

“I’m familiar with the surroundings and I’m staying with house parents who I stayed with when I was over before, they are really, really nice.

“Liverpool is the club I support, so yeah, you could definitely say it’s the dream for me. I can’t wait to get started.”

This teenage talent looks a smart signing by Liverpool, who have led the way in recent times with identifying top young talent and eventually giving youngsters a pathway to their first-team.

Bradley could be the latest to follow the likes of Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold and others in becoming key members of Jurgen Klopp’s squad, if the potential he’s shown so far is anything to go by.

The 15-year-old has captained Northern Ireland at youth level and impressed in occasional trials with the Reds, representing them in some youth tournaments and showing what he can do against big names like Barcelona.

LFC fans will hope Bradley can go on to fulfil his enormous potential with them in the next few years.
