Tommy Pilling transfers from Liverpool to MFK Zemplin Michalovce

Liverpool FC academy midfielder Tommy Pilling has completed a permanent transfer to MFK Zemplin Michalovce, a Slovakian top-flight team. The 21-year-old's move, subject to international clearance, reportedly includes no upfront fee but has bonuses and a sell-on clause. Pilling did not make an official first-team appearance for Liverpool, having played 83 matches for the under-21 team since signing his first professional contract four years ago. MFK Zemplin finished fifth in the Slovakian league last season, and hopes are that Pilling will contribute to a stronger performance this year.
