Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Man Utd blocked Mourinho move for Bonucci

Liverpool have been given international clearance to complete the signing of Ki-Jana Hoever from Ajax, <a href="https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/inside-track-ki-jana-hoever-15153470" target="_blank">Liverpool Echo</a> reports. The 16-year-old chose Liverpool ahead of the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea and has been training with the Reds since last month. But the club had to wait on international clearance to be able to play the defender in the Under 18s. "His journey begins now because he can train and try and force his way into the team,"&nbsp;coach Barry Lewtas said. "It's really exciting for us."
