The germany-born u18 international, who was born in england, never made a senior appearance for the reds, but was a regular in liverpool’s youth squads. The 22-year-old had spent the previous two seasons on loan with tranmere rovers, scoring six goals and five assists in 22 appearances for the lower league club. During his time at prenton park, the boy suffered a number of serious injuries, restricting his movements and stunting his growth. Paul glatzel is expected to join swindon before the end of the month, according to the liverpool echo, although the reds are unlikely to profit from the deal since the forward has already reached the final six months of his contract. Former liverpool academy players jake cain and tom clayton are now in swindon’s squad, with glatzel joining some familiar faces at the county ground. In five premier league 2 appearances for liverpool’s u21s this season, the young attacker has scored three goals.
Glatzel isn’t the only academy player to leave liverpool in january, with luke chambers joining wigan athletic in league one on loan until the end of the season. Marcelo pitaluga and vitezslav jaros have both left the club on loan this month, joining st patrick’s athletic and sturm graz respectively. After being cut short by a temporary switch to rb leipzig, fabio carvalho joined hull city on loan in january. Owen beck, rhys williams, nat phillips, and james balagizi have all returned to anfield this month after loan spells, but they could all be released before the end of the transfer window.
