Liverpool have agreed a link-up with Ghanaian side Ashgold as they look to explore the African market.

The European Cup holders came to the arrangement after holding talks with Ashgold officials last week.

The agreement could see Ashgold becoming a feeder club for Liverpool allowing them first refusal on signing any young talent that comes through the ranks at the Ghanaian outfit.

The partnership could be similar to the deals Manchester United have with Royal Antwerp and Arsenal with Beveren.

Ashgold chief executive Kudjoe Fianoo was delighted with the partnership with the Premiership titans.

"We are thrilled by the offer Liverpool have made us and we hope that opportunities can be explored to the benefit of both clubs and also Ghanaian footballers," Fianoo told Ghanaweb.

"We are in this relationship for as long haul as possible.

"We will strive to tap the enormous knowledge and networking at the disposal of Proton for the benefit of not only Ashgold but also Ghanaian and African football at large," Fianoo said.

Well if it means we can uncover a Sissoko without paying the prices for Diouf's or Diao's then its a great idea

Thats a good thing to happen.I would like to make a point in saying that we should try to propose similar collaborations with some of the lower division english clubs which have a history of producing some good talents as it will help us in the future to secure top quality english players also.
As Rafa says the price for young talent in England is very high,such collaborations might help us in getting young local talent for a bargain price(atleast we can be the first one to be preferred) as in case of players like Walcott we may then have the upper hand & get the first option of buying them rather than to get into a crazy bidding war (16 m for a 16 yr old lol)
