Liverpool signed teenage German striker Samed Yesil from Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday.
Yesil, 18, scored 22 goals in 26 appearances for Germany at the Under-16, U-17 and U-18 levels. He had yet to break into the senior team for Germany or Bayer Leverkusen.
"I am really happy about this, it is my dream to play for Liverpool and I will give my all," Yesil said.
