Some say Liverpool may have signed "the next Drogba" in Bayer Leverkusen youngster Samed Yesil. The Reds snapped up the promising 18-year-old from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this week and he could turn out to be the summer's greatest transfer coup at just £1 million. The 18-year-old German, who has represented his country at under-16, 17 and 18 level, is a promising young forward who scored six goals for Germany at the Under-17 World Cup last year. Yesil was not involved for Leverkusen, now managed by the former Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia, when they played Liverpool in a pre-season friendly at Anfield earlier this month but has an impressive goalscoring record at youth level. He will become Brendan Rodgers's fourth summer signing after Fabio Borini, Joe Allen and Oussama Assaidi, with Nuri Sahin on a year's loan from Real Madrid.
