Van den Berg joined European champions

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Dutch teenager Sepp van dan Berg from PEC Zwolle.

The 17-year-old defender will become the Premier League club's first signing of the transfer window pending international clearance.

Liverpool did not disclose the fee involved - although it is reported to be an initial £1.3million - and stated only that Van den Berg had signed a "long-term" contract.

Van den Berg became Zwolle's youngest ever player when he debuted aged 16 in March 2018 and went on to make 22 appearances in the Eredivisie.

"It's just an amazing feeling," Van den Berg told his new club's website. "It is, for me, the biggest club in the world and it's a dream come true. I am really excited".
