Liverpool are not interested in signing talented Ghanaian midfielder Abdul Fatawu Isahaku in the summer transfer window.

The Steadfast FC midfielder has been in Europe with his representatives talking with clubs about a possible move.

He was bound for a move to Bayer Leverkusen before the Bundesliga side pulled out of the deal due to what they termed as sabotage from the player's representatives.

Reports in the local media on Sunday evening announced that the player had signed a five year contract with the Merseyside club but it appears that is a false dawn per Liverpool Echo.

According to the respected Liverpool Echo, the club are not in the running for the talented 17 year old midfielder.

It also adds that employment rules now in place in the United Kingdom mean Liverpool would be unable to sign the player until he is 18 next March.

Sporting Lisbon and Villarreal are now being linked with Issahaku, who shot to prominence when named player of the tournament in helping Ghana with the Africa U20 Cup of Nations earlier this year.
