Liverpool sign Turkish teenager Altunay after he wins a reality TV show

Liverpool have handed a contract to 16-year-old Turkish midfielder Emin Altunay. The youngster won a football-based reality show in his home country.


The show Futbol Prensi was set up on the channel TRT for youngsters between the ages of 14 and 16 to demonstate their talent.

Altunay, who played against a selected squad of Liverpool youth players during the show, is now being given his chance with the Merseyside giants.

He said: ‘I’ve been playing football since I was four years old. I’ve always wanted to play football, I want to thank everyone who has given me this opportunity, I won’t let them down.’
