# Virals: Liverpool target Zion Atta leaves Crystal Palace

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/03/jurgen-klopp-issues-stark-warning-over-long-term-future/) target [Zion Atta](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/11/11/liverpool-and-man-city-interested-in-signing-crystal-palace-youngster/) has announced a departure from Crystal Palace on social media.

The Reds were [credited](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9175981/Mino-Raiola-snaps-Crystal-Palace-starlet-Zion-Atta-amid-transfer-interest.html) with an interest in the 16-year-old starlet back in January alongside Ajax, Roma and Manchester City.

Some eight months later the teenager has parted company with the Eagles having [turned down a professional contract](https://www.90min.com/posts/crystal-palace-furious-zion-atta-wants-to-leave-the-club) to stay at Selhurst Park.

Atta seemingly announced the split on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/attz.11/channel/?hl=en-gb), as cited by [Holmeside Online](https://twitter.com/Holmesdale/status/1433570699440951298?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1433570699440951298%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-15918853222633718469.ampproject.net%2F2108192119000%2Fframe.html) on Twitter.

A [goalscoring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/zion-atta/nationalmannschaft/spieler/796301/verein_id/53638) England Under 15 international, Atta has recently been snapped by up ‘super-agent Mino Raiola.

Earlier this year the talented left-winger made a [U18 Premier League debut](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/zion-atta/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/796301/plus/0/saison/2020/wettbewerb/GB18/verein/6950) against Leicester City.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Liverpool have certainly developed a penchant for [snapping up the best youth talent](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12099175/liverpool-sign-brazilian-goalkeeper-marcelo-pitaluga) in recent years.

From Harvey Elliott to Kaide Gordon, the Reds are making it their mission to bolster the [famed academy](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/academy) with an array of potential first-team stars of the future.

Atta could be the next to join the famed academy system, following the [recent acquisition](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bobby-clark-liverpool-signing-message-21128625) of ex-Newcastle United youth starlet Bobby Clark.
