World Cup-Winning Striker Of Nigerian Descent Begins Training With Liverpool, Snubs Chelsea

England U20 international of Nigerian parentage Dominic Solanke has started pre-season training with Liverpool.

The Reds are yet to officially announce the transfer of Solanke from Chelsea, but the talented striker was sighted at Melwood for the second straight day, on Wednesday, July 5.

Solanke and another player of Nigerian descent ,who helped England win the Fifa U20 World Cup Sheyi Ojo, were pictured by Liverpool's photographers training with other first-teamers at the start of pre-season training.

It is assumed that Liverpool have not yet announced the transfer of Solanke and the duration of his contract because the Professional Football Compensation Committee has not determined the training compensation to be paid to Chelsea.

The Golden Ball winner at the 2017 Fifa U20 World Cup has joined Liverpool as a free agent after spending the last thirteen years of his career at Stamford Bridge.
