Liverpool new boy Edvard Tagseth has said that prior to agreeing a move to the Reds in 2015, both Manchester City & Manchester United wanted him, while he had a trial at Everton at the age of just 13.

The Anfield outfit agreed to sign Tagseth in May 2015, but the move was done only this summer upon the midfielder turning 16 years old.

Tagseth, who formerly represented Norwegian outfit Neset FK, has already turned out for the Liverpool Under-18 team under the stewardship of Steven Gerrard following his arrival.

The teenager explained that besides Everton & Manchester United, Manchester City were also keen to snap him up before he agreed a move to Liverpool in the summer of 2015.

"I went there a couple of times before Man United wanted me."

"I played a tournament, there were some scouts there I think & then Man City wanted me in April 2015 before I went to Liverpool in May.".

"It was always my dream to play for Liverpool & when they wanted to sign me, I couldn't say no to that."
