Liverpool are on the verge of signing
Danish starlet Nikolaj Kohlert, according to the player's
agent.
Kohlert enjoyed a trial at Liverpool earlier this year and the
Reds have moved quickly to line up a deal for the Esbjergs
midfielder.
The 16-year-old is yet to make his debut for Esbjerg and should
he sign for Liverpool he will continue his footballing education
with the club's academy.
Kohlert's agent, Allan Nielsen, says only personal terms need to
be agreed for the deal to be finalised with Rafa Benitez's
men.
"I can say as much as there will be a meeting in Liverpool
today. The only thing remaining is the personal contract," said
Nielsen.
"I see no immediate problems in the clubs agreeing. There should
be no problems at all but last but not least, it will be up to
Esbjerg. But I am sure this will be no problem.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for a 16-year-old. He is ready
both as a person and as a footballer. He will probably start in the
academy on a scholarship before he turns 17.
"After that it will be the reserve team and then he will get a
professional contract for three years with an additional option for
Liverpool.
"It is a really really good contract. All that's remaining now
is to get the details in place today."
