# Liverpool agree deal for Colombian teenager

Liverpool have reportedly agreed terms to sign 18-year old defender Anderson Arroyo, according to Colombian expert and South America football journalist [Simon Edwards](https://twitter.com/SimonEdwardsSAF/status/954446785732337664).

The Colombian plays for Fortaleza C.E.I.F. in his native country, and has previously had trials with Liverpool (2016) and Mallorca (2017).

Arroyo made his debut for Fortaleza at 15 and has spent most of his career playing on the right side of defence, although he is left-footed.

Liverpool have reportedly bought 100% of his playing rights, but will need to loan him out as he isn’t eligible for a work permit.

Given that Mallorca are interested in retaining Arroyo’s services, it is likely that Liverpool will look to loan him to the Spanish club.
