Liverpool are expected to make a decision on trialist Danny Blanchett later this week.

The 18-year-old has returned to Cambridge City after undergoing a two-week trial at Anfield.

The player's manager at Cambridge, Gary Roberts, believes Blanchett, who would likely cost The Reds between £25,000 and £50,000, is capable of making the grade.

"I believe Liverpool will make a decision as to where they go with it this week and obviously we've had interest from other clubs," said Roberts.

"He enjoyed his trial tremendously and the set up there was so professional.

"Everyone was nice to him and the players were especially friendly, so he's only got good things to say about it.

"In terms of technique, he's as good as a pro now and there are aspects he would improve on if he went professional anyway."
