The 16-year-old Ivory Coast prodigy was a sensation in the Under-17 World Cup alongside Coulibaly Souleymane and Diarrassouba Drissa, who is reportedly set for a trial with Stoke City. Various reports in Ivory Coast claim Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool have agreed a fee with Stade d'Abidjan for the services of the striker. But the club's president, Abi Koffi Richmond, says nothing has been agreed with him yet and other sides are also interested in the youngster. He told skysports.com: "Liverpool has not agreed anything with me yet, I have nothing written. "They are a great club and respected club, I do not need to tell them how to do their work. "I have contact from them through some agents but they are not the only club interested in the boy."
