Despite the transfer window closing on Friday evening, one player has taken to Instagram to confirm he has signed for Liverpool.
Alvin Ayman joins the Reds from Wolverhampton Wanderers, joining Liverpool’s academy programme after having already broken into Wolves’ under-18 set-up.

16 year-old Ayman had also featured for Wolves as part of their Premier League 2 team at under-21 level, as well as travelling with the Wolves first team when they took on Manchester City away last season.
Ayman posted a picture of his signing with the Reds on Instagram, as well as thanking his former team.
Before Liverpool can officially register Ayman, they will have to undergo a five-step investigation by the Premier League, which is standard for academy transfers.
Fabrizio Romano had reported that Ayman would be signed by the Reds, claiming that he had agreed a five-year deal and that Wolves were due a £2m compensation fee.

Clearly Liverpool’s scouts have identified Ayman as being well worth the fee, and he could have a rise similar to other another recent academy star, Trey Nyoni.
Most often playing as a left-sided central defender, Ayman has also featured in midfield when playing for Wolves’ youth teams and for Bradford’s academy before that, with the Yorkshire club being where Ayman played from the under-9 level until Wolves acquired him last year.
