Gonzalez on way to reds

Liverpool have reached an agreement to sign Chilean Mark Gonzalez from Spanish side Albacete on a four-year deal. The 21-year-old winger will be unable to play for Liverpool until the start of next season as the club cannot apply for a work permit until next summer. In August, Liverpool's bid to sign the winger collapsed after the Home Office refused him a work permit because Chile's Fifa ranking was too low. When Liverpool tried to sign Gonzalez he had just suffered a knee injury.


Gonzalez has now returned to Chile, where he is continuing his rehabilitation. He said he was surprised by Liverpool's patience "because not all teams would wait for a player as they did". "Only the biggest teams do that. Now, I have to respond to their confidence with football." Next summer Gonzalez will be eligible for a Spanish passport on the grounds of residency.

I believe that this si a good deal for Liverpool because I have heard good coments about the Chilean. He is only 21 years old and already he has proven he is a class act at Albacete. I was also surprised at Liverpool's patience to wait for the player to come through the rehabilitation he is currently recieving.
