Luton kid Dave Moli agrees Liverpool move

Luton Town starlet Dave Moli has joined Liverpool for an undisclosed fee.

The Daily Mail says Moli has impressed for the Hatters youth team and the Under 15 prospect was being monitored by a host of clubs in the Barclays Premier League - one of which made an illegal approach for the player.

Anfield legend Kenny Dalglish scouted the youngster and the Blue Square Premier League outfit have confirmed the deal after an official approach was made.

Luton's youth development officer Gregg Broughton told the club website: "Although we never like to lose talented footballers from Luton Town, it is also important that if it is right for the football club that we don't stand in the way of a young player's development.

"It is not our usual policy to allow any of our young players to leave Kenilworth Road for another club. Nobody wants to see a player with potential such as Dave's leave, but on this occasion we took into consideration a number of factors.

"The first is the value of the player in the short and long term, while the second takes into account the player's natural footballing progression and development.

"All of these aspects were taken into consideration and we felt it right to allow Dave and his family to talk to Liverpool.

"We're delighted to be able to accept a bid on behalf of such a big club, but stress that the club's policy of allowing young players to leave is a strict one."
