Liverpool have completed the signing of defender Anderson Arroyo from Colombian outfit Fortaleza CEIF.
The 18-year-old had previously undergone a trial with the Premier League giants, who continued to monitor his progress before agreeing a deal during the January transfer window.
Arroyo has now completed his move to Anfield, although the left-back will spend the next 18 months on loan at Spanish side Mallorca.
"Liverpool FC can now confirm the completion of the signing of defender Anderson Arroyo, who has immediately moved to Real Mallorca on an 18-month loan deal," read a statement on the club's official website.
"Arroyo has departed for a temporary spell in Spain, where he will spend the remainder of this campaign and the whole of the next with Segunda B leaders Mallorca."
Arroyo is a Colombia Under-20 international and featured 22 times for his former club Fortaleza.
