BREAKING NEWS: Liverpool seal Gomez deal

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of England Under-19 defender Joe Gomez from Charlton Athletic.

The 18-year-old has penned a long-term deal at Anfield.

He joins James Milner, Danny Ings and Adam Bogdan as Brendan Rodgers' off-season recruits so far.

"It's a dream come true," Gomez told Liverpool's official website. "It's a bit surreal and it hasn't really hit me yet. But I'm buzzing and just excited to get started.

"The club has got great history and it's a great club, and one that I've always been following from when I was young.

"The style of football and the top players here was somewhere that I wanted to go and get better and learn, and play good football. It was an easy decision."
