Kornel Misciur close to loan move
Promising Liverpool goalkeeper Misciur is set to leave on loan, with the 18-year-old attracting interest from several non-league clubs.
This Is Anfield understands the 18-year-old is close to agreeing a loan that will see him play for another club in a ‘part-time’ role, featuring in games for his loan club while often training with the Liverpool senior squad.
He follows fellow academy ‘keeper Armin Pecsi out the door, after the Hungarian agreed a temporary move to TSV Hartberg in the Austrian Bundesliga earlier this week.

When Jordan Henderson is spoken of these days, he is usually renowned as a fantastic leader who drove standards at Liverpool.
