Liverpool have completed the capture of teenage striker Aaron King from Rushden and Diamonds.
King, 16, impressed during a recent trial period with the Anfield giants and has now signed a two-year scholarship agreement.
"We are all absolutely thrilled for Aaron - this is a brilliant achievement for everyone involved in his development throughout the five years that he has been with us," Rushden's head of youth development Paul Driver told the club's official website.

The last player Liverpool signed from these parts was Phil Neil - hope he has as many games and trophies to lift
Ian Rush was king of the kop lets hope Aaron does the same .....you go do it kid best of luck
Good luck to the youngster...hope to see you play for the full team next season

XS : I dont think the lad will play for the top team within the next 4 or more years... That signing is called "securing the youth team and preparing for long term", top teams like Liverpool do this and not just spend millions on actual top players giving them big salaries to attract them and make them stay in the club. If you're a Chelsea or Man. City fan, I know this concept is not easy for you to understand. For these players who spend years as youth, growing up in the club, knowing the culture and history of the club, it's not just "a job of footballer" but it's being part of the Liverpool family !
And also, I don't think LFC blew it's budget on Johnson. There'll be more signing this year... We needed to streghten the side backs, now I'd like to see an excellent winger (like David Silva, why not ? Let me dream guys...) and a cover for Torres. Although it seems that everyone doesn't want to see Mascherano leave, I think that we have Alonso as an excellent Defensive Midfielder - He's the best in the world in that position according to me (not Yaya Toure). So the swop of Masch for 25 M + Bojan seems a very nice offer which should be accepted. And why not having my dream come true by having Villa with this 25 M ?
---------------------------------------------- Reina ------------------------------------------
New Player / Aurelio --- Any 2 from (Agger-Skrtel - Carragher) --- Johnson
----------------------------------Alonso (Lucas as cover)--------------------------------
Benayoun/Kuyt/Ne w Winger --------------------------------------------Babel/Riera
---------------------------------------------Gerrard-- -----------------------------------------
------------ ----Bojan/Kuyt------------------------------------Torre s-----------------------
The bench too would seem to be okay if we have a better GK than Itandje
About the signing of this young lad, I too hope Liverpool paid a decent price to he
After blowing all their budget on Glen Johnson, Liverpool are now signing all the players there funds will allow - i.e. 16 yr olds from the conference

yeah, have to agree with pvmkgilks. Hope we paid decent money, good of Diamonds to wish the lad well.
Reports from liverpoolFC.tv is saying that liverpool the Reds has agreed johnson deal. Maybe after seeing dossena help Brazil to their easy win against italy, liverpool decided to act fast to avoid CHELSEA taking him. You will never walk alone. TC

I sincerely hope Liverpool have paid a descent fee to keep The Diamonds brilliant youth academy going, there ain't many clubs with the facilities and ability that they have in the top flight ( apart from Man City) let alone the Conference. Well done everyone at the Diamonds and hope you are back in the football league soon.
