Liverpool have sealed the deal to sign Lanus' Argentine starlet Sebastian Leto.

 

River Plate had been favourites to land the 20-year-old, before baulking at the club's $3.6million (£1.85million) valuation.

 

However, The Reds were happy to meet Lanus' valuation and have now agreed terms with the club and player.

 

Leto will not arrive in England until the end of the season after Liverpool allowed to Leto to remain with Lanus for the next five months.

 

The youngster is staying level-headed after securing his Reds switch and is looking forward to the challenge of playing in the Premiership.

 

"I am calm. Liverpool is a club with a lot of history. I do not fear the challenge," said Leto.

 

"I've not spoken with Benitez, although I've seen a lot of Premiership matches on television.

 

"I'm a winger who likes to counter-attack. I don't anticipate struggling to adapt to life in England."

Any good

"I'm a winger who likes to counter-attack."

 

Can we recall him from our '5 month loan' early?

[Alonso]

"I'm a winger who likes to counter-attack. I don't anticipate struggling to adapt to life in England."

Which wing and sign more Argies!

[Smith]

Any good

 

I'll ask around and leto know.

[Stevie H]

who hell he?

[Gomez]

Any good

 

Another 3rd choice keeper we'll never see play.

That's the other one, keep up. This one's the ineffective attacking midfielder.

[Magic8Ball]

1 - which wing ?

 

2 - the Sheff Utd player we have first option on, which wing does he play on too ?

[Kite]

Another 3rd choice keeper we'll never see play.

If he's a keeper who likes to "counter attack down the wing", I'd pay way extra to see that.

[jimmylibel]

1 - which wing ?

 

2 - the Sheff Utd player we have first option on, which wing does he play on too ?

 

1 - don't know

 

2 - all of them, he's the ultimate utility player. A bargain at a mere £9 million.

[Reggie]

Which wing and sign more Argies!

 

Yeah because the one we have is bloody brilliant.

[Stevie H]

so is he the new lionel messi, new kily gonzalez, new claudio lopez or new ariel ortega? we should be told.

[fyds]

Yeah because the one we have is bloody brilliant.

Tell you what, I'm glad you didn't see HJansen's first few full first team games for Liverpool - you'd have had him butchered by machete-wielding Rhesus monkeys on steriods. He was AWFUL. As I recall, he turned out not bad though...still, why give a lad a chance?

[CarraLegend]

Bet Rafa is on the phone to Lanus saying we're taking him now if that could be done probably cant with the agreement already in place though. Shame though as he'd probably walk straight into the team on Saturday given the injuries.

[Magic8Ball]

1 - don't know

 

2 - all of them, he's the ultimate utility player. A bargain at a mere £9 million.

 

 

would love more information on these two.

I'm hoping rafa goes out and buys ...wait for it, wait for it BETTER WINGERS

[McBain]

so is he the new lionel messi, new kily gonzalez, new claudio lopez or new ariel ortega? we should be told.

 

A mixture of all of them. His nickname is Lily Loga

[Gomez]

If he's a keeper who likes to "counter attack down the wing", I'd pay way extra to see that.

 

OK. let me rephrase that.

Another expensive foriegn youngster we'll wait 8 months to see before he struggles to adapt to the premiership and we slag of Rafa for throwing him into such an important cup game / dissappeares in the reserves and we slag off Rafa for not giving him a chance, I mean just what is the point in picking him in the squad if you are not going to play him?

That's the spirit.

[charlie clown]

so is he the new lionel messi, new kily gonzalez, new claudio lopez or new ariel ortega? we should be told.

 

he is the new Carmen Miranda.

[sean]

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE

[Maldini]

He was good in Requiem For A Dream

[Raj]

He was good in Requiem For A Dream

 

Hopefully he's got more than one arm

It's a Let To Buy deal?

 

[matty]

We've signed Barcelona striker's bumhole.

 

Take the Ls off his name and club.
