Liverpool win race for Scottish starlet
Liverpool have signed the 16-year-old son of former Aberdeen star Neale Cooper.
Winger Alex Cooper, who plays for Ross County, will move to Anfield after the clubs agreed a £100,000 fee.
Cooper, capped by Scotland U-16s, has been chased by a string of English clubs, including Chelsea when Jose Mourinho was still manager.
Liverpool have beaten all the rivals however and have given the teenager a three-and-a-half-year contract.
His father Neale, said: "All his family are delighted Alex has been given the opportunity to sign for Liverpool.
"He could have gone to one or two other clubs but he just loved the way he was treated by Liverpool when he was there."
