Sources close to theimps.tk can reveal that Liverpool have almost agreed a deal to take Jack Hobbs to Anfield. The youngest has apparantly impressed in the last week that he has spent at the European Champions and the 18 time English champions are all set to seal the deal.

Hobbs joined Liverpool on trial last week after months of speculation had been linking him with a move to Highbury. However, the Gunnars couldn't agree to a sell on clause that the Imps had specified in the deal, a clause that Liverpool were only too happy to agree to.

16 year old Hobbs signed with City at age 9 and made his professional debut when he came off the bench with a few minutes to go in the home game with Bristol Rovers in January. Since then, he's been linked with Arsenal, Liverpool, Bolton, Man Utd, Villa and Chelsea but the Reds have turned out to win the race for his signature.

Hobbs is expected to complete the deal to Anfield next week and we'll bring you more news as we get it.
