Liverpool hand trials to Swedish teenage goalkeepers Hugo Andersson and Oskar Abrahamsson
The pair, who have excelled for Malmo clubs LB07 and Bjarreds respectively, trained at Anfield last week
LIVERPOOL have given trials to Swedish goalkeeping prospects Hugo Andersson and Oskar Abrahamsson.
The duo, who play for Malmo clubs LB07 and Bjarreds respectively, spent two days at Anfield last week.
Andersson, 15, also had a try-out with Kop arch-rivals Everton.
The teenagers' goalkeeping coach Jimmy Hansen said: "They did some fantastic training, and both Liverpool and Everton will want to follow their development.
"I have trained them for several years, and they have progressed very well. Few players get the chance they were given."
Abrahamsson, 14, said: "It was great to train with the coaches who have developed so many good players.
"But we missed seeing Liverpool's first team as they were in Spain to play Sevilla."
Andersson added: "Jimmy Hansen has contacts with Everton as well, and they invited me to train with them.

"They thought it went well. We will keep in touch, and they will follow me in the future."
Both players are expected to join Malmo's academy when they turn 16. The Blues have won 23 Swedish league titles, including the last two.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic played for them from 1999 to 2001, and former Premier League stars Jari Litmanen, Stefan Schwarz and Martin Dahlin also had spells in their side.
