Liverpool have signed 18-year-old right-back Emmanuel Mendy on a free transfer from Spanish third division side Murcia Deportivo.

The Spanish teenager, who has also played at left-back, is one of several youth signings made by Liverpool so far this summer, joining Christopher Buchtmann, Nikola Saric, Zsolt Poloskei and Vincent Lucas Weijl at Anfield.

Mendy is expected to compete for a place in the reserve set-up overseen by Gary Ablett.
