Nyoni, one of the most sought after central midfielders of his generation had already been scaling heights at former club Leicester.
At 16, he had already featured for Leicester’s U21 side.
Nyoni was born in England to Zimbabwean parents meaning he has an unlikely chance of playing for the Warriors.
Unlikely because already he has been drafted in England’s junior squads and might fancy his chances with the Three Lions instead of representing Zimbabwe.
“Liverpool have won the race to sign England international 16-year-old Trey Nyoni from Leicester. Liverpool have been working on the deal for months,” said The Liverpool Way, Monday.
“The Central Midfielder is one of the best in his age group. Born in 2007, the midfielder will make up the first-year scholar group.”
