Everything you need to know about Matias Lozano as Liverpool eye sensational midfielder Here's everything you need to know about Matias Lozano. Liverpool's recruitment is changing. With Michael Edwards' return the club has become braver in their recruitment - particularly when it comes to bringing in younger players.
We've seen the expansion of Liverpool's global scouting network and as a result we've seen the Reds secure the signing of Armin Pecsi, Mor Talla Ndiaye and Ifeanyi Ndukwe as ESC (Elite Significant Contribution) players These are foreign footballers in the English football pyramid who do not meet the standard Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) points threshold for a work permit but are allowed to play through a special FA exemption. An elite Premier League club can register up to four ESC players per season and it looks like Liverpool have their eyes on a fourth player in Lozano. According to Colombian journalist Alexis Rodriguez , Liverpool are tracking Atletico Nacional midfielder.
Lozano is only 17-years-old so he's not eligible to move abroad as per FIFA rules just yet. However, he turns 18-years-old next month at which point he will be able to move to Anfield. The youngster has recently become a regular for Atletico Nacional's senior team in the Colombian top flight and last month he became the third youngest player to score in the league in the club's history.
That should be an indication of just how talented he is. Like Ndiaye and Ndukwe, Lozano also caught the eye at the U17 World Cup last year taking place in Qatar. He was a regular for Colombia's U17 national team and shone with his impressive performances.
