Liverpool have taken young Portsmouth defender Sam Magri on trial.
The 17-year-old had recently been tipped with securing a place in the Pompey starting lineup, but it now appears that he could be nearing a move to the North-West.
Magri will travel to Merseyside on Monday and will spend a week with the club.
Magri confirmed the news on Twitter, saying: "Just to put everything to bed. Its true in what everyone is saying involving me."
He was part of the England squad that competed in last summer's under-17 World Cup.
