Club confirms 'incredible' signing from Liverpool

A club in England's lower tiers has confirmed an 'incredible' new arrival from Liverpool.

The Reds have brought in a lot of new players this summer but they have also let go of a fair few. Most notably from the club's academy.

This has seen the likes of Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Ben Doak, Tyler Morton and Trent Alexander-Arnold among others leave on permanent deals away from the club.

One area where the club hasn't been as proactive is when it comes to loan deals. Only a handful of players from the Reds have been sent out on loan thus far.

This includes Lewis Koumas at Birmingham City, Owen Beck at Derby County and Vitezslav Jaros at Ajax.

Before the window shuts on September 1st, a few more players are going to be making moves. It's expected James McConnell will join Jaros at Ajax.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are still listening to offers for a number of academy players including the likes of Kaide Gordon, Calvin Ramsay and others.

One player who has now completed a loan move is James Balagizi. Still only 21-years-old, Balagizi has been hit by injuries and a number of unsuccessful loan spells over the last few years.

But now he's going to be on the move as Forest Green Rovers have confirmed that Balagizi will be joining them on loan from the Reds.

It's a season long loan in the National League, where Forest Green Rovers are going to be fighting for promotion under Robbie Savage.

This is a great opportunity for Balagizi to play regular minutes and finally make his breakthrough into adult football. He featured in a handful of games for Liverpool's U21 side last season scoring twice and registering an assist in six games (although just one of these games was a start).

So, he's been used very sporadically even at U21 level last season. Nonetheless, Forest Green Rovers seem excited to have him in their team.

The club's Director of Football, Mark Bowen said the following on the club's official website: "James is a top talent and we're delighted to be able to attract a player of his ability to the football club in amongst fighting off interest from clubs higher up the pyramid.

"We're incredibly thankful to Liverpool for allowing us to aid his development and add more quality to our squad here at FGR.

"He can play in a number of positions across the midfield and has an excellent passing range to help build from the back. He's also able to provide powerful forward runs to help the team as a whole."

Meanwhile, manager Robbie Savage described Balagizi's arrival as an example of the 'incredible' backing from the board.

"It's another great bit of recruitment for the club and shows yet more incredible backing from Dale (Vince) and Asif (Rehmanwala). We're delighted to add James to the squad," Savage said.

By the sounds of things this is an exciting signing and opportunity. We hope Balagizi can play a lot of minutes in the National League and kickstart his career.

There were times at U18 level when he played incredible, so if he can rediscover that form at Forest Green, he'll be in great stead.
