"The 19-year-old has agreed terms with the Anfield club after refusing to sign a contract extension at Stamford Bridge amid concern over a lack of first-team opportunities, Solanke’s current deal expires this summer but, as he is younger than 24, Liverpool will have to pay Chelsea a compensation fee to be decided by a tribunal. The fee is expected to be in the region of £2m-£3m."

“Liverpool FC have agreed personal terms with Dominic Solanke to sign the England youth international this summer,” read a statement on the club’s official website. “The 19-year-old striker will complete the transfer to the Reds on July 1, 2017, upon the expiry of his contract with his current club, Chelsea.”

"Solanke has an impressive goalscoring record for Chelsea’s youth teams and represented England up to under-21 level. He is part of Paul Simpson’s squad for the Under-20 World Cup in South Korea and spent the 2015-16 season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem, where he scored seven goals in 25 appearances."

"The striker’s stand-off with Chelsea over a new contract had alerted an array of clubs to his availability and several Premier League teams competed with Liverpool for his signature. Solanke, who will earn less than £20,000 a week at Anfield, also had offers from RB Leipzig in Germany and Celtic, who saw him as a potential replacement for Moussa Dembélé."

Liverpool have firmino, Sturridge (but for how much longer) origi, mane, Coutinho to fill the forward positions. I hardly think he's going to much game time initially at Liverpool, probably more if he'd stayed at Chelsea in the league and fa cup and even more playing time had he gone to Celtic.

Think the lad must have had some guarantees from Klopp about playing time considering he refused to sign a contract with Chelsea because of a lack of first team opportunities.

I know a few Chelsea fans down here, they rate the lad very highly, and that it will come back to bite them on the arse.
