Liverpool have reportedly made their first signing of the January transfer window after 'completing a deal' for teenage defender Billy Koumetio.
The 16-year-old Frenchman had been on trail with the Reds in November, with the left-sided defender travelling with the club's Under-17 side to play a number of friendlies in Berlin.
According to ESPN, the US Orleans man made an impression during his time on trial, as the Premier League side have decided to sign the defender, who was at Olympique Lyonnais earlier in his career, for a nominal fee.
Koumetio will become part of Barry Lewtas' Under-16 side at Liverpool, with the French defender the latest addition to the club's academy setup with a view to the future.
