15-year-old Indian origin youngster Yan Dhanda makes Liverpool U-18s debut

15-year-old British-born Indian origin footballer Yan Dhanda made his debut today for the Liverpool U-18s against Tottenham.

The youngster signed for Liverpool in July 2013 after the Merseyside club fought off competition from the likes of Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion.

Dhanda became a sensation on the internet after a YouTube compilation of his skills impressed most people. The youngster was also called on to represent the England U-16s.
