Liverpool have confirmed that they
beat Wednesday night's transfer deadline to sign Paraguayan
teenager Ronald Huth.
The defender has moved to Anfield on a two-and-a-half year deal
after opting to leave his former employers Tacuary FC.
The signing of the 17-year-old was the final step in Rafa Benitez's
mission to infuse his squad with a wealth of young talent in
January, following the signings of Jordy Brouwer, Astrit Ajdarevic,
Daniele Padelli, Emiliano Insua and Francisco Duran.
Any potential work permit issues for The Reds' latest deal have
been avoided by virtue of the fact that Huth holds an Italian
passport.
The defender now becomes the only Paraguayan currently plying his
trade in the English top flight as he looks to continue his
education on Merseyside.
Not the ex-Chelsea defender Robert Huth ah..
