Liverpool secures commitment from wonderkid Josh Abe amid rival interest

Summary

Liverpool has secured the long-term commitment of 15-year-old winger Josh Abe, who turned down offers from Manchester City and Chelsea. Abe has signed scholarship terms with a pre-contract for a professional deal starting in July 2027. His decision was influenced by Liverpool's pathway to first team football. Despite a knee injury that ended his season early, Abe is expected to be fit for pre-season and will be included in the first team squad for a tour of the United States next month.
