Reds to snap up Greek ace

By Fotis Voinikas - Created on 26 Jul 2006

Liverpool trialist Lazaros Christodoulopoulos is set to sign a three-year contract, according to Greek sources.

 

We revealed on Monday that Christodoulopoulos was on trial at Anfield, but he has obviously wasted little time in impressing.

 

Greek reports now claim that Christodoupoulos has agreed a three-year contract with The Reds and he has already passed a medical.

 

Christodoupoulos was spotted by Liverpool's new chief scout Eduardo Macia playing for PAOK Salonika and coach Rafa Benitez has obviously been sufficiently impressed by the 20-year-old.

 

Christodoupoulos has a get-out clause of just over £130,000 so Liverpool have no doubt decided that the risk in taking on the young striker for such a nominal fee is not a big one.
