Liverpool midfielder Luca Stephenson has completed a permanent move to Championship side Bolton Wanderers in a £700,000 deal.
The 22-year-old, who was in the last year of his current Reds contract, was involved with the senior team during the last two pre-seasons under former boss Arne Slot but failed to feature in a competitive senior squad.
Stephenson had spent the last two seasons on loan at Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership where he was a regular before his most recent campaign was ended early due to injury, and recently expressed he was open to a departure from Liverpool.
And having been given permission to leave, he has now linked up with Bolton after the Reds agreed a deal that also includes a 20% sell-on clause.
Stephenson joined the Liverpool Academy from Sunderland at under-15 level and went on to captain the U18s and feature in the UEFA Youth League and EFL Trophy before a loan spell at League Two side Barrow in 2023/24.
