@UruguayanHeroes Can you tell me if Agustin Davila is any good?
Upon arrival, he will be given fifteen days to impress Liverpool academy director Alex Inglethorpe. A contract could be on the cards if enough is done.
The prospect will doubtless have heard that the club he is arriving at are soon to be involved in one of the biggest annual matches in the world, against Manchester United on Monday.

For now, all he can do is pass the first test.
