Liverpool have completed the signing of Armin Pecsi from Hungarian side Puskas Akademia.
The goalkeeper joins the Reds in a deal that could reach £1.5milion - a club record fee for the Hungarian top-flight team - and is their second signing of the summer after Jeremie Frimpong.
The 20-year-old has finalised his move to Anfield after completing a medical and putting pen to paper on a contract at the AXA Training Centre.
Pecsi reacted to his transfer by sharing the club’s confirmation on his Instagram story.
Meanwhile, his sports agency, Em Sports Consulting, also acknowledged his transfer on social media.

Sharing a graphic of Pecsi which said, ‘Get ready Anfield, Pecsi is a Red,’ they also wrote: “He has always been a true red to the core.
Now he belongs to them.”
One of Pecsi’s first Instagram posts was uploaded at Anfield on December 23, 2023.
The goalkeeper - who was born in Austria - has been a regular for Puskas Akademia this season and made 36 appearances in all competitions as they finished second in the table behind Robbie Keane's Ferencvaros.

He also featured in the early rounds of the Europa Conference League as Puskas Akademia were knocked out by eventual semi-finalists Fiorentina in the final qualifying round.
