Liverpool youngster Isaac Mabaya has completed a loan move to Wigan Athletic.
The defender, who made his senior debut last season in the FA Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle, joins the League One club ahead of its first match of the season on Saturday against Northampton Town.
The right-back joined Liverpool at six years old and is set to experience his first loan spell away from the club, and the first opportunity to play regular senior matches.

Head coach Ryan Lowe added: “I’ve known of Isaac for many years - he’s had a few injuries, but feels like he’s back to where he belongs.
“I nearly signed him when I was at Preston North End, knowing his pedigree and what he’s about - he’s a powerful right wing-back who will definitely give us something down the right-hand side.
Mabaya joined Liverpool at age six
“We saw him first-hand against us for Liverpool Under-21s, and he’s fit, firing, and really excited to be here
We’re delighted to have him on board and feel he’ll be a really good addition.”
Mayaba is the fourth Liverpool player to leave on loan this summer
