Liverpool interested in signing 18-year-old starlet from Mallorca

Liverpool are being linked with Victor Christopher de Baunbag, according to Sport (h/t Liverpool Echo).

The youngster has played for the Mallorca youth team and has been their top scorer for the last three years. The report adds that De Baunbag has been promoted to the club’s B team but will drop down to the U18 side when facing some of the bigger sides, such as Barcelona this weekend.

The report adds that the 18-year-old is expected to play for the senior side at the end of the campaign. Mallorca are eighth in the second Spanish division with four wins from 12 games.

The Reds have a number of quality youngsters in their attack. Ben Woodburn, Harry Wilson and Ryan Kent are all trying to break into the first-team with some stars away on loan.

Liverpool have senior strikers such as Dominic Solanke, Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge all trying to usurp Roberto Firmino as the main striker in our side.
