Liverpool are lining up a deal for Hamilton Accies babe James
McCarthy - and plan to sign the Republic of Ireland prospect at the
end of the season.
McCarthy is being watched by Anfield spies after he impressed Rafa
Benitez in a short trial a few months ago.
Benitez told McCarthy to stay with the Scottish League One side
just now and get more experience rather than join the Kop's army of
young hopefuls in the reserves and youth set-ups.
And Liverpool have monitored him ever since, with one of their top
scouts watching him as his table-topping side played at the
weekend.
McCarthy has helped surprise side Accies have a great start to the
campaign, but he seems destined for Merseyside before much
longer.
