Liverpool seal Ramon deal
Liverpool have signed former Manchester United rookie Ramon Calliste.
Liverpool have completed the signing of former Manchester United rookie Ramon Calliste.
The Welsh youngster was released by the Old Trafford outfit and had trial spells with clubs in England and Scotland before linking up with Rafa Benitez's European champions.
A goal in a reserve team match against Newcastle United helped strengthen his case for a permanent deal at Anfield and Benitez was sufficiently impressed to hand a one-year contract to the 19-year-old.
A lively forward, Calliste was rated highly by United but was unable to make the grade in Manchester.
The teenager will be striving to make an impact on Merseyside after making a rare transfer move from United to Liverpool.
Joining Calliste at Anfield is Besian Idrizaj, with the Austrian sealing a two-year deal with The Reds after impressing on trial.
Idrizaj, who has moved on from Linz, is looking forward to the chance to shine on Merseyside.
"I have always been a Liverpool fan and it is a dream come true to play for them," he told the club's website.
"If you get a chance to go to Liverpool on trial then you have to take it. You cannot ingore a trial with the reigning Champions League winners. I would even have swam across the channel just to take part."
