Youngster can’t believe it

July 4, 2008

One of Germany’s top teenage talents Christopher Buchtmann can’t believe that he has signed for Liverpool.

The 16-year-old young midfielder, had been recruited from Borussia Dortmund’s youth system last month.

He told RevierSport of the pride he feels to be officially on the books at Liverpool, and said he wanted to join Liverpool when he was attending a League Cup clash featuring Liverpool against Cardiff last season.

“When the fans start to sing, you do not know what to say,” he said.

“I want to spend some time at Anfield. Apparently Steven Gerrard sometimes visits the junior games and talks with the players,” he added.

“My whole life I have had enough English to survive, but if I had known I would need a Liverpudlian accent, I would probably have been more attentive at school!”
