LIVERPOOL FC have made a shock move to sign Coventry City's Conor Thomas on loan until the end of the season, according to reports.

BBC Sport reports that the 17-year-old has agreed to move to the Premier League giants until May.

And Sky Sports says that the move made be made permanent at the end of the season - with a £1m price-tag being mooted.

Thomas made his first Coventry City start on Saturday in the 3-2 FA Cup defeat against Birmingham City and has been regularly monitored by Anfield scouts.

Welcome Conor :buttrock

Heard we were after him afew months ago, dont know anything about him but its good to see we havent slowed the pace in getting youngsters in amongst all the drama.

It would be funny if this kid turns out to be better than Torres, Suarez or Carroll in a few years time.

Ironic in the sense that all the headlines where about these 3 today and he was overlooked as news.

Errrrr....he's a central midfielder ? Why mention him in the context of Torres, Carroll etc....

Hmm... in my 2016-17 FM11 game, he transferred from Coventry to Dag & Red in 2015 for.... £500. He has played a total of 62 league games, with 9 assists and 6 goals.

Therefore: WHAT IS KENNY THINKING??

I was talking about how good he can potentially turn out to be, NOT comparing him with other strikers or playing in that position FFS. :upside:

he has already played for the Coventry first team so clearly can play.
Its only on loan until the end of the season i have heard and then he is signing permanent.

honestly dont know mate, he started their recent FA cup match with Birmingham i think it was and also plays for England at that level so he is clearly someone who is a good player now at that level.

Just because of his age doesn't mean he's not good enough. I watched a DFB Pokal game last week (German Cup) and a 17 year old came on for Schalke 04, scored the winner, cool as you like, with 5 mins to go. Draxler I think his name was.
If you're good enough, you're old enough.

Julian Draxter is gonna be a great player, Comoli should go have a look.
