UNCOVERED: Klopp, Robertson convinced Celtic whiz Doak to choose Liverpool

Liverpool have agreed a fee with Celtic to sign Ben Doak.

The Daily Mail says Liverpool have snapped up 16 year-old Celtic prodigy Doak, with the club said to have splashed out a compensation fee of around £600,000.

It is understood Doak opted for Anfield due to Jurgen Klopp's track record of developing youngsters - with the German 'pivotal' in his decision making, the report goes on.

The success of stars such as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones only strengthened his desire to pick the Reds ahead of other suitors, it claims.

A picture of Doak holding up his first Liverpool shirt emerged on social media - beaming in the dressing room holding up a number 7 jersey while standing next to Andy Robertson's kit.
