Bobby Adekanye - Official Thread

Another free transfer just in but I have never heard of this lad:

"Liverpool have signed 16-year-old starlet Bobby Adekanye from Barcelona on a free transfer.

Adekanye was born in Nigeria but moved to Amsterdam in the Netherlands when he was four and arrived at the Camp Nou from Ajax in 2011.

However, he was banned for playing for Barcelona after FIFA ruled the club had broken youth transfer regulations in order to sign him and imposed a year-long transfer ban on them.

As a result, Adekanye -- who has been compared to Arjen Robben -- joined PSV on loan but has now opted to continue his career at Liverpool.

The left-sided winger turned down interest from PSV and Ajax and wrote on his Instagram page: "I am very happy to sign for Liverpool."

He looks like he hasn't got a fecking clue what the feck has just happen. One minute he's kicking a can against a wall in Barcelona and the next he's in Liverpool.

welcome to the club lad

Should be a good move. Barca didn't won't to lose him so it shows the potential he's got.
Bring him through the ranks, watch his ego get bigger than the club and then sell him for 40M!
Welcome to the greatest footie club around.

Looks like he's just on the Anfield tour in that picture rather than a new employee  :)

Looks promising. See what he's like in 1 and half years. If he's still hungry and developed then give him a run-out in one of the cups.

Might make some money on him or he even could become a star...

I'd say he will get a run out in the early preseason games.
Anyway welcome to the club lad.

Its a good thing for this club whenever we nick a player from Barcelona. And from the looks of it, he does have the potential. Pretty excited about this player.
