Daniel Abubakar gets nod from Liverpool
English Premier League side Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish invited Daniel Abubakar to Merseyside for a trial after being tipped off by his scouting network.
The 18-year-old, who plays for New Edubiase United in Ghana's Premier League, spent a fortnight working with Liverpool and feels he made a positive impression on the coaching staff.
"They were impressed by my performances during training and the match that I played," Abubakar told Joy Sports. "The technical team like my style of play, so hopefully they will sign me.
"When you go to trials, they talk to your agent and not you the player. Liverpool is talking with my agent (Oliver Arthur) now. They're impressed with my performances so we should get a favourable response."
Fans of Liverpool have not been too impressed, since many believe what is needed now is a striker, with Andy Carroll not feeling at home at Anfield and Luis Suarez out due to a ban.
