Chris Mavinga signs for Liverpool

Well what do you know, Liverpool has beaten Arsenal to the signing of a French youngster. Now that's something which you don't see every day.

The 18 year old defender (can play at full back and centre back) has signed from Paris Saint Germain for an undisclosed fee. As ever, he's being portrayed as one of those brightest ever prospect types (we'll soon see).

Considering that he's just turned 18 years old, I imagine he'll be going straight to Melwood. But I wonder if he will be fast tracked to the first team in similar fashion to Ngog. Hope we get an early glimpse of him in pre-season.

There is no youtube vid to judge him on

Beating other top clubs for young prospects shows that Rafa having more control has really worked out.

In fairness, youtube compilations of young, inexperienced defenders are pretty rare!

Mavinga officially rocks!

[dww]

Anyone know which side fullback he plays? There is certainly the possibility of him getting onto the bench on either side at the minute and if he can cover CB as well even better.

Could you suggest an existing thread i should have put this in?

We'll have enough for 3 reserve teams at this rate...

No.

I wasn't taking the piss out of you by the way. Rather aimed at another nameless youngster joining the ranks. Generally I think this is a good thing but as has just been commented on, we'll be able to field multiple reserve teams soon enough.

Is he related the infamous Paul Mavinga?

That'll do for me, he's probably mates with N'gog.
