Liverpool continue to show their ambition in this summer’s transfer market.
Looking to wrap up deals for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, they have already confirmed the signing of Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong.
Arne Slot will be aiming to retain the Premier League title next season, and has been backed by Fenway Sports Group to make any additions he deems necessary.
Whilst adding to the first-team is always seen as a priority, Liverpool will be looking to significantly invest in their academy too this summer after what has been a disappointing season for their youth teams.
Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed the news that 2005 born Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi has signed his contract as a Liverpool player.
Pecsi signs from Puskas Akademia and the club have paid £1.5m for his services.
He will link up with the U21’s, but will sporadically train with Alisson and Mamardashvili will be vital to his development as a player.
Pecsi made 34 appearances in the Hungarian top-flight last seaosn, helping his side reach a second-spot finish.
With the arrival of Pecsi, it opens up a potential exit for Vitezslav Jaros.
Due to Pecsi’s age and level of performances this season, it earned him a nomination for the Golden Boy award, ranking second among goalkeepers in the Golden Boy rankings, which is proof of the potential and talent of the young Hungarian shot-stopper.
In 2022, when Hungary’s U19 team played their Euro qualifying matches in the North of England they visited Anfield, Pecsi was in attendance.
Some things are just mean to be as Armin Pecsi becomes Liverpool’s second signing of the summer.
