Liverpool may look to offer a contract to Anderlecht’s young midfielder Zorhan Bassong, according to Anderlecht Online. The 17 year old has been on trial with the Reds and took part in the Spax Cup in Bremen earlier this month for Liverpool Under 19s.

Bassong was born in Canada to a Belgium mother, and moved to Brussels in 2014 to become part of Anderlecht’s youth setup. He has not signed a professional contract with the Belgian side though leaving the Reds free to offer the player a trial and a permanent deal.

Anderlecht Online have however subsequently reported that after contacting Bassong’s representatives that the player’s trip with the Reds to the Spax Cup was a “one time experience” and he currently has no plans to leave Anderlecht.

Bassong is a a Canada Under 17 international and took part in the 2015 CONCACAF Championships in Honduras. Whether he moves to Merseyside in the future may be down to whether he impressed the Reds’ youth coaches enough to be offered a professional contract.
