Honduran youngster Wesly Decas has been given a one-week trial by Liverpool, having impressed club scouts at a recent Under 20's tournament.
TheStarreport that the left-back will be given seven days to impress those at Melwood, before a decision is made over whether to make an offer to the player's current club,Atletico Independiente.

Decas will be tasked with training with the Reds' U18 and U23 teams respectively and is expected to travel to Merseyside in the coming days to begin the trial.
The teenager was said to be one of the standout performers at theCONCACAF U20 Championship earlier this year and was on the losing side in the final as Honduras lost out to the USA on penalties.
Liverpoolreportedlyhad scouts present at the final as they were keeping a close eye on one of their own bright talents, American forward Brooks Lennon who recently joined former side Real Salt Lake on loan, but having been impressed by Decas' performance, the club have now handed the 17-year-old the opportunity to secure a move to Anfield.

Whilst a successful trial would likely mean that Liverpool offer the full-back a contract, a compensationagreement would need to be reached with his current club back in Honduras, as well as personal terms with the player himself.
The Reds' current upcoming young left-back, Juanma, is held in high regard at the club's academy centre in Kirkby, so Decas would likely find his game-time limited, as he competes with the former Barcelona youth product for a place in the U23's starting lineup.
