Liverpool whizkid Eddie Tagseth admits he chose the Reds over Everton.

The 16-year-old midfielder, who grew up idolising Steven Gerrard, had trials with both Merseyside clubs, as well as Manchester City and Manchester United, after being spotted playing for Neset FK in his homeland of Norway.

“The Danish scout Mads Jorgensen saw me and he asked me if I wanted to come and train at Liverpool," Tagseth told Liverpoolfc.com.

"I had the choice between signing for Everton and Liverpool.

“It wasn't that easy, it sounds easy, but it wasn't really. One of the most important things was that I had a good time and was happy there.

“I was happy at both clubs, but obviously Liverpool is better!"
