Transfer Speculation: Lukasz Kominiak to Liverpool

by Paul Grech

Polish central-defender Lukasz Kominiak has been spending the past few days training with Liverpool in view ofa permanent deal to Anfield from Wisla Krakow.  The 18 year-old is yet to make his debut for the senior team but is highly rated and was included in the senior squad – the youngest player to be included - that went to Turkey last January to prepare for the second part of the Polish season.  An international player for the Polish youth teams, he has apparently impressed the Liverpool scouts for his physical presence.

Yet there will have to be more about him to get a contract given the talent that there already is within the Liverpool reserve team.  Ronald Huth has enjoyed an excellent season for the reserves whilst both Daniel Ayala and Martin Kelly impressed when given an opportunity. 

Then there’s Mikel San Jose who was in the first team squad for the league trip to Chelsea and who excelled in last Wednesday’s 3-0 over Aston Villa’s reserves that saw Liverpool claim the national reserves championship.  And that’s forgetting the likes of Jack Hobbs who made his league debut earlier this season before spending the closing months of the campaign at Scunthorpe on loan.

What isn’t surprising is the fact that Liverpool are looking for talent in Eastern Europe.  Kristian Nemeth, brought from Hungary last summer, has been one of the star players of the reserves side and should be included in the first team squad for next season.
