Liverpool transfer news: Fabrizio Romano confirms agreement is close for world-class wonderkid | OneFootball

According to Romano, Liverpool are closing in on sealing an agreement for Armin Pecsi.

The Reds have agreed everything on the player's side and are close to agreeing a record fee for the Hungarian league to sign him from Puskas Akademia.

But just who is Pecsi? On paper with Alisson at the club and Giorig Mamardashvili on his way, signing another goalkeeper doesn't feel that exciting.

However, Liverpool fans should be excited about him.

Pecsi is one of the biggest goalkeeping talents in world football and he has world-class potential.

The numbers reflect that. He prevented 14.33 goals in the Hungarian top flight last season and he made the most saves (91) in the entire league.

Pecsi is also ranked second in the Golden Boy rankings among goalkeepers at the moment and 47 overall which is a really good rating for a goalkeeper.

Sources in Hungary have described him as the best talent in the region. Many expect him to become a world-class player. He has the right mindset and attitude and he's got the ability to back it up as well.

His numbers are already elite level. Mamardashvili prevented over 10 goals in La Liga during the 2023/24 campaign and that was impressive.

Pecsi's 14.33 is an incredible return. Being nominated among the top 100 biggest talents and ranking in 47 is not bad either.

Very few players from Hungarian have earned that nomination. The last two to be nominated for the Golden Boy award were Milos Kerkez and Dominik Szoboszlai.
