Liverpool have announced the signing of teenage striker Dominic Solanke from Chelsea.
Solanke, who is yet to make a senior league appearance for the new Premier League champions, will join Liverpool at the end of his contract on July 1.
The 19-year-old made his Chelsea debut in a 6-0 Champions League thrashing of Maribor in 2014 and spent time on loan at Vitesse Arnhem in the Eredivisie in the 2015-16 season, scoring seven goals for the club.
Solanke is a two-time FA Youth Cup champion and a winner of both the UEFA Youth League and Under-17 European Championship and he will add to Jurgen Klopp's forward options after he led Liverpool to fourth place in the Premier League.
