Liverpool agree deal to sign Sepp van den Berg

Liverpool have agreed a deal with PEC Zwolle for the transfer of Sepp van den Berg, which will be completed in July subject to international clearance.

The 17-year-old defender has finalised terms on a long-term contract with the Reds after an agreement was reached with the Eredivisie club.

Van den Berg on Reds switch, learning from VVD and ‘world’s best fans’
Van den Berg told Liverpoolfc.com: “It’s just an amazing feeling.

“It is, for me, the biggest club in the world and it’s a dream come true. I am really excited.

“I’ve seen what kind of players from the Academy grew into the first team here. It is unbelievable, especially when this kind of big club does that.

“Of course, the trainer [Jürgen Klopp] is a great guy and one of the reasons they are successful – and also one of the reasons I came here.

“I think this is the best place for me to grow and hopefully play a lot of games here.”

Van den Berg made 15 appearances in the Dutch top flight last season, helping Zwolle to a 13th place finish.

He is also an international for the Netherlands at U19 level, winning four caps to date.

Have a feeling he's going to be something special, based on absolutely nothing and having not seen him kick a ball.

Hopefully I'm right for when people look back on the first page of this thread in a few years time, when we've won another European Cup with him and Virgil at the back.

Welcome ginge.

I think that feeling stems from having complete trust in our recruitment team (and deservedly so)
Welcome, loved his interview.

Before he's even kicked a ball for us can I suggest 'One Sepp Beyond' by Madness as his song.

Pfft, who needs De Ligt? Bring on our Dutch defensive era of van Dijk, van den Berg and Hoever.

Welcome lad. From all the reports I have read the last couple of days, he seems like a great talent so well done to the club for bringing him in.

PS: Gotta love LFCTV when interviewing a new signing as there is not the slightest hint of leading questions

NarutoReds · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2019, 12:08:01 pm »

I'm not English and fuck me, I even need to Google why people call him as "Ginge".

+ Ginge in British

- noun, informal
- a person with ginger hair

- a pejorative term for people with red hair
- The pejorative use of the word "ginger" and related discrimination was used to illustrate a point about racism and prejudice in the "Ginger Kids", "Le Petit Tourette", "It's a Jersey Thing" and "Fatbeard" episodes of South Park.

- Film and television programmes often portray school bullies as having red hair.

NarutoReds · « **Reply #18 on:** June 27, 2019, 12:09:49 pm »

I'll just follow then. Welcome, Ginge (Sepp Ginge). Or whatever.

Love to have you here, baby.

Flaccid Bobby Fowler · « **Reply #19 on:** June 27, 2019, 12:10:01 pm »

He is a freak for 17, Neck like a bull. Has all the physical attributes and there should be no fear on the coaching side. Extremely optimistic about his future here as a starting 11 player in a couple years.

Mighty Zeus · « **Reply #20 on:** June 27, 2019, 12:10:26 pm »

Cool and everything but why doesn't he have an early 20th century name like 'Stan' or 'Bobby' yet?

Dick van der Berg is perfect, why not. May I be the first to welcome Dick van der Berg to the greatest club in the world.

EDIT shit, we should have used that one for Virgil, for obvious reasons. May I be the first to welcome Ray van der Berg to the oh I give up

If the club reckon he's already as good as Gomez was in 2015 then we're getting one hell of a player.

I mean before long, if not right away, he's going to get to train alongside VVD - surely that's enough to encourage any young Dutch player.

I mentioned in the transfer thread that he's been working on Jaap Stam at PEC Zwolle. Not a bad set of defenders to influence your career.

Well son, Sepp's mother & father love each other very much. 17 years and 9 months ago they expressed their love in a very special & magical way. 9 months later baby Sepp was delivered by the stork at their home.

And stop swearing, you little shit.
