Liverpool Fend Off Man Utd & Juventus Interest to Clinch Deal for Polish Goalkeeper Jakub Ojrzynski

Liverpool have seemingly beaten Manchester United and Juventus in sealing a deal for 16-year-old Polish goalkeeper Jakub Ojrzynski from Legia Warsaw.

The young shot stopper is in the closing stages of sealing a £200k summer move to Anfield from the Ekstraklasa side, after impressing many of Europe's elite sides.

Ojrzynski will head straight to the Kirkby Academy with Barry Lewtas' FA Youth Cup-winning Under-18's squad in early July when pre-season training starts. News of the deal comes via Liverpool Echo, who claim the Reds won the race for his signature ahead of Valencia, as well as the aforementioned United and Juventus.
