REDS SNAP UP FRENCH STARLET
Liverpool have confirmed the signing of French defender Chris Mavinga from Paris Saint Germain.
Reports in France earlier this week claimed Liverpool had offered Mavinga a three-year deal at Anfield and the 18-year-old has now put pen-to-paper on the contract.
Arsenal were believed to be interested in signing the versatile defender, but Liverpool have won the race to bring Mavinga to England.
Mavinga follows in the footsteps of David Ngog in leaving Paris for Liverpool following the striker's switch last summer.
The young Frenchman is Liverpool's second signing of the summer following Glen Johnson's arrival from Portsmouth.
Meanwhile, winger Nabil El Zhar has become the latest player to sign a new deal at Anfield.
The Moroccan international has inked a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2012.
The 22-year-old, who joined the Reds from St Etienne in 2006, enjoyed his best season to date with Liverpool last term.
El Zhar made 19 appearances for Liverpool last season mainly as an impact player off the bench
El Zhar joins the likes of Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Dirk Kuyt, Daniel Agger and Yossi Benayoun in agreeing new deals at Anfield.
