Liverpool fans were sent into a frenzy over the weekend after the Dutch defender was spotted at Anfield during the 4-1 win over Ipswich Town.

Another video showing Hato meeting Liverpool captain and fellow Dutchman Virgil van Dijk also made the rounds on Saturday, suggesting that the 18-year-old could be signing for Liverpool soon.

Hato has emerged as a potential signing for Liverpool in the last few days.
