Liverpool is close to sealing a transfer deal for the highly-rated young Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi after already snapping up Bayer Leverkusen wing-back Jeremie Frimpong this summer.

Should the deal get over the line, Liverpool.com understands that Pecsi will initially play for the Reds' U21s side, who are now searching for a new head coach after Barry Lewtas stepped down, while benefiting from training with Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili.

The fee is understood to be up to around $2.0 million (£1.5 million).

Talks are ongoing over a deal for the Germany playmaker Florian Wirtz, meanwhile, who could break the British transfer record if a deal is struck after Liverpool moved ahead of Bayern Munich in the race for the 22-year-old.

Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez is also thought to be on the agenda for the Reds, who are pressing ahead with moves having won the Premier League last season.
