Agent sends Twitter into a frenzy with 'exciting' message about 'official club announcement next week'

Avalon Sports Group agent Saad Wadia sent Twitter into a frenzy on Friday as he teased supporters with a cryptic message about an 'official club announcement next week.'

The transfer window has reached the point where supporters are hoping to see new signings announced and this excitement has been played upon by Saad Wadia.

The agent was at Kirkby this week and teased an 'official club announcement next week' although, as This is Anfield has reported, the reality might not be what fans are hoping for.

He accompanied his cryptic message with strategically placed red dots to conceal his client's identity before Liverpool make their official announcement.

This is Anfield suggests that the announcement could be to do with a long-term contract for Own Beck, Ian Rush's great-nephew.

Jack Lusby writes for TIA: "But the most likely outcome is possibly less exciting for most, though it could be a hugely positive deal for the club moving forward."

Beck is just 18 but he was a regular for the Liverpool U23 side last season and is now set to commit his future to the Merseyside outfit.

Liverpool making significant Academy moves

Beck's long-term contract is the latest move from Liverpool to bolster their Academy's ranks after they unofficially secured Fatawu Issahaku's signature ahead of his loan move to Sporting Lisbon.

The Ghanian rejected Manchester United to join the Reds and although it will be a while before he is on show at Anfield, he is a 'ferocious attacking talent' and someone to keep an eye on.

In other Academy news, Remi Savage has joined Newcastle United on a free transfer after his Liverpool contract expired at midnight on Wednesday.
