Liverpool have snapped up Queens Park Rangers youngster Raheem Sterling for an undisclosed fee.

The 15-year-old attacking-midfielder, who is an England under-16 international, will join the Premiership club’s Academy.

Liverpool’s Managing Director Christian Purslow told his club’s official website: “The success of our Academy is vital to the future progress of the club and we have made clear that we will invest in outstanding young talent.

“Raheem is a very exciting young English player whose progress was being closely monitored by many other leading clubs and I’m delighted he’s joining us.

“Frank McParland and his staff have done a great job in bringing him to Liverpool.”

QPR’s Youth Development manager Steve Gallen told the London club’s official website: “It is obviously disappointing to lose Raheem. I know him very well, having worked closely with him for a number of years.

“We wanted to keep him, but Raheem was keen to play for an Academy, and Liverpool is obviously an excellent move for him, as far as that is concerned.

“Liverpool’s bid matched our valuation of him, and we all wish him well.

“Raheem is a fantastic lad with a brilliant attitude. The players and staff are going to miss him around the place.

“I hope, and I firmly believe, that he will have a great future in the game.”

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O’Hara could be leaving the North London club this summer.

The 23-year old was last month loaned out to Portsmouth for the second time this season.

O’Hara said: “I went back to Tottenham in January and I was not really involved so I may have to move on.

“Tottenham are a massive club and are always going to be involved in big signings.

“Sometimes as a younger English player you have to move on to further your career. We will see what happens at the end of the season.”

Wigan Athletic midfielder Jason Koumas looks set for a loan spell away from the Premiership club.

Latics manager Roberto Martinez said: “We have had clear interest from two teams, he needs to play games. It would be a good opportunity for Jason to regain match fitness.

“He has been in a mode over the last three years where he hasn’t played enough football.”

Reading right-back Julian Kelly has joined Wycombe Wanderers on a month’s loan.

The 19-year-old former Arsenal trainee has just made one appearance for the Championship club this season.

Wanderers manager Gary Waddock told his club’s official website: “I’m delighted to have signed Julian; he is a very good player. He has Championship experience and is a good acquisition. I’m looking forward to working with him.”
