Liverpool send scouts to watch Samuel Martinez

Although Liverpool didn't sign any first-team players during the January transfer window, they did bring in Noah Adekoya and Mor Talla Ndiaye.

Both of these defenders are teenage sensations with massive futures ahead of them and, as per an update from Ben Jacobs, it seems like Hughes is still on the lookout for more youngsters to add to their youth ranks.

"Samuel Martinez starts for Colombia vs. Brazil in tonight's Sudamericano U-17 semi and is drawing interest," he wrote via X.

"Eduardo Conceicao on show for Brazil.

"Many European scouts present at the game, including from Chelsea, Liverpool and City Football Group."

Who is Samuel Martinez and why do Liverpool want to sign him?
