Teenager Boca Juniors defender Emiliano Insua Signs For Liverpool

Liverpool FC have announced their successful loan deal for Argentine teenager defender Emiliano Insua of CA Boca Juniors.

The Reds are understood to have completed the signing on November 28, 2006, and the 18-year-old Insua has arrived at Anfield after failing to make the first-team breakthrough at La Bombonera.

The Reds have taken the Under-20 international left-back on a 18-month loan deal, paying nearly £100,000. The move could be later finalised permanently after further payment of £1 million.

Earlier in the week, Rafa Benitez’s side signed 20-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder Sebastian Leto from Lanus for £1.85 million.

Leto will however remain with Lanus on loan till the end of the season.

Liverpool have attracted much flak for their humiliating loss to Arsenal in the Carling Cup quarters where the Reds’ youngsters looked ordinary.

However, Benitez is confident about his latest addition Insua and his quality. "He is a good, young player with a lot of potential."

Insua has been part of U-20 world champions Argentine side, which is now preparing for the 2007 South American Youth Championship in Paraguay.
