It has been clear to even the most casual of observers that Liverpool have been putting extra emphasis on bolstering their youth departments with new signings from across the world recently.Players such as Ifeanyi Ndukwe and Mor Talla Ndiaye have already joined up, while Djylian N’Guessan, Samuel Martinez and Lucca Brughmans will all arrive in 2027.Ndukwe and Brughmans are regarded as two huge talents who could be the best young players in their positions in world football, and as Liverpool continue their push to bring youngsters of a similar level to Anfield, fans should be intrigued to hear Fabrizio Romano’s latest transfer update about Mexican wonderkid Gilberto Mora. He is working under Jurgen Klopp with Germany, though… 👀 Kevin Schade Movement has started over Gilberto MoraWhen Liverpool have targeted these young players, they have done so with the idea that they will one day be able to challenge for a place in the first-team.Given he has already played 62 times for Tijuana and has 15 Mexico caps to his name, Mora would very much fall into that category as well.



He is probably more ready to start than any of Liverpool’s other new signings.The 17-year-old scored his first goal for Mexico last week, becoming the nation’s youngest ever scorer in the process, and according to Romano, he is likely to move to Europe in the near future.“Keep a close eye on Gilberto Mora, the youngest goalscorer ever for the Mexican national team, this boy is special,” he said on his YouTube channel on Saturday. “17 years old, born in October 2008 and Mora is considered in the industry as one of the best midfield talents around.”READ MORE: How Victor Munoz played for Spain as Liverpool winger takes over from Lamine Yamal “We are talking about a player who has a lot of quality, a lot of potential, clubs from Spain, England and not only are monitoring him.

There is movement around Gilberto Mora. It’s going to be a very, very interesting situation to follow.”Mora could complete Liverpool’s revolutionLiverpool are clearly looking to the future in a big way with their recruitment, as they look to target best in class young players, Mora absolutely fits into that vision.Capable of playing anywhere in midfield and also further forward, the teenager would be a valuable addition and could complete this phase of scouting for the Reds.Certainly, it feels very probable that Liverpool are one of the clubs looking into a deal to sign Mora, and they have already been credited with an interest in him at various points over the past year.As he will turn 18 later in October, he will be eligible to move to England during the January transfer window, and though a transfer to Spain would possibly be a more natural step for a Mexican, maybe Liverpool’s willingness to put faith in youth could show Mora that Merseyside is the right place for him.Fans will not usually see the immediate benefits of signing players who are barely out of school, but Mora could be an exception to that, and could be the jewel in the crown of what looks like an excellent recruitment strategy from Liverpool.There will be plenty of other teams vying for his signature, but having seen the plans the Reds have executed so well with other youngsters of similar potential, they could have a slight edge in this chase too.
