Leeds are set to pay compensation to the Merseyside giants for the youngster to move to Yorkshire in the coming months.

Leeds need to focus on poaching top talent from Premier League clubs
Leeds have been trying to bring in young talents to their academy, who will go on to make a mark in the first team in the coming years. However, they need to get better at it.
It will not only save Leeds money on big transfers, but they could also bring in considerable transfer fees into their coffers, even if they don’t make it at Elland Road.
Player trading has emerged as a huge revenue generator for big clubs, and academy players are often sold to shore up balance sheets and escape FFP sanctions.
With Leeds behind some of their Premier League rivals when it comes to generating funds from sales, the club need to focus on bringing in top young talents early.
