Liverpool fans have reacted on Twitter to a report that Jurgen Klopp has signed Bobby Duncan.

The Mirror have reported that Liverpool have completed a deal for the 17-year-old striker, who is Steven Gerrard’s cousin.

The Reds, according to the report, have agreed a compensation fee of around £200,000 with Manchester City for the young marksman, who also courted interest from Tottenham, Juventus, Monaco and Roma.

Duncan is believed to have netted 66 times for City during the 2015-16 campaign and some fans of the Anfield club are enthused by the rumour of his signing.

Here’s how Liverpool supporters reacted:

If his signing is true, he is clearly one for the future. He might be the next big thing in English football, but for now he is a 17-year-old who has never kicked a ball in the Premier League and it goes without saying that Klopp needs a tried-and-tested marksman this summer.

Roberto Firmino enjoyed a brilliant 2017-18 campaign, but beyond that the options – Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Danny Ings and Dominic Solanke – are rather underwhelming.
