# Van den Berg ‘flew in deepest secrecy’ to finalise Liverpool move

Sepp van den Berg looks set to become Liverpool’s first signing of the summer, with the 17-year-old’s arrival imminent.

The Reds have beaten off competition from the likes of Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Bayern Munich for the highly-rated PEC Zwolle centre-back.

Reports in *De Telegraaf,* via [https://sportwitness.co.uk/player-deepest-secrecy-london-last-night-expected-sign-liverpool/](https://sportwitness.co.uk/player-deepest-secrecy-london-last-night-expected-sign-liverpool/)*[Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/player-deepest-secrecy-london-last-night-expected-sign-liverpool/)*, claim Van den Berg flew to London with his parents ‘in deepest secrecy’ on Monday night, in order to finalise his move.

The youngster reportedly sat down with agents Frank Schouten, Niels van Duinen and John Morris, as he discussed joining the European champions.

Van den Berg was rumoured to be undertaking a medical on Tuesday, but nothing has emerged regarding that yet.

The Dutchman’s official unveiling is not far away, though, and he will go straight into Liverpool’s academy upon arrival.

The hope is that he matures enough to train with the first team sooner rather than later, with great things expected of him.
