From the Mail on Sunday: Liverpool have shocked Ajax by signing their latest wonderboy, Jordy Brouwer. The 18 year-old striker, who has played for Holland under-19s, will fly to Liverpool tomorrow to put the seal on his four-year contract. Ajax's technical director Martin van Geel was angered and surprised by the transfer as they were not aware foreign clubs were monitoring the player. Brouwer, who is top scorer in Ajax's youth team, had only a 'youth contract' with the club and was about to sign his first professional deal with them. Liverpool will pay a small compensation fee for Brouwer's academy years. Couldn't find it on the Mail website, so have just typed it word-for-word from the paper.
