Tony Gallacher has completed his £250,000 move to Liverpool from Scottish Championship side Falkirk.

Liverpool announced the deal for Gallacher on Saturday morning, with the Scottish left back set to join the Reds' development squad.

The 18-year-old, who was a product of Falkirk's academy before stepping up to their first team, made 17 appearances this season in the Scottish second division.

Gallacher has completed his move to the Premier League after training with Liverpool throughout the whole of last week, where he impressed staff suitably for an offer to go in.

He had been followed by Liverpool for over a year but Swansea  had been considered frontrunners for his signature prior to Christmas.

Meanwhile, European giants Barcelona were also once linked with the Scottish youngster.
