Liverpool have completed the signing of Spanish teenager Madger Antonio from La Liga outfit Villarreal. The 17 year old midfielder joined the Reds for a paltry sum as Villareal feared they might have to lose out on the player for free next summer.
Antonio took to his personal Twitter Handle to confirm his signing for the Merseyside giants.
