Liverpool agree deal to sign midfielder Allan

Liverpool have confirmed they have agreed a rumoured £500,000 deal to sign highly-rated Brazilian youngster Allan Rodrigues de Souza from Internacional.

Allan, 18, was pictured alongside fellow Brazilians Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino during a Liverpool training session at Melwood earlier this week and becomes the Reds' eighth signing of the new season.

A tweet from Liverpool's official account confirmed the signing, saying: "#LFC have secured Allan for the future and he's currently spending time with the Reds with the permission of his club, Internacional."

Liverpool have already bolstered their youth ranks this summer with the signings of Dutch winger Bobby Adekanye from Barcelona and Brooks Lennon from Real Salt Lake.
