Liverpool have completed the signing of Charlton Athletic defender Joe Gomez.

The 18-year-old defender has penned a long-term deal with the Reds to seal a switch to Anfield from the Championship side.

Upon signing his contract with the club, Gomez told Liverpoolfc.com: "It's a dream come true. 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."

The youngster follows midfielder James Milner, striker Danny Ings and goalkeeper Adam Bogdan in agreeing summer moves to Liverpool.
