Ryan Kent admits he chose Liverpool ahead of offers from Manchester United and Manchester City.
Kent, who spent time on loan at Coventry earlier in the season, first joined Liverpool's academy as a nine-year-old.
“I first came here when I was seven but I couldn't sign officially until I was nine," he told the Liverpool Echo.
“I was still going to places like United and City but then at the age of nine I had to make a decision.
“At the time it just felt like the right place for me. My family were happy with me coming here. The coaching and the facilities were the best around.
“It was a nice choice to have. Some people said I should have gone more local, to United or City, but I was happy with the choice I made and I've never regretted it. It's paid off."
