'A no-brainer for Liverpool to bring in this level of talent'
Hungarian football expert Bence Bocsak says Liverpool see new signing Armin Pecsi as a "potential future number one goalkeeper".Pecsi, a nominee for the 2025 Golden Boy award, made 30 appearances for Puskas Akademia last season as they finished second in the Hungarian top flight, before the 20-year-old's move to Anfield was confirmed last week."You only have to look at the Golden Boy nominations to see how big a prospect he is," Bocsak told BBC Radio Merseyside's Chris Coughlin."It's a no-brainer for Liverpool if you can bring in this level of talent. When you look at his stats, he's prevented 14.33 goals during the whole of last season - remarkable statistics for a goalkeeper. If you can bring him in for this amount of money, it is a really good deal for Liverpool."He's still only 20 years old. Everyone I've spoken to about him has spoken really highly of his character and mentality."Despite the departure of Reds number two goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher this summer, Valencia's Giorgi Mamardashvili will join the club in July to compete for the number one shirt with established first choice Alisson."It will be a big change going from being first choice at one of the biggest clubs in Hungary to probably being third choice at Liverpool and playing for the under-21s, but I think it is a challenge he's very much prepared for," Bocsak added."Mentally he knows he's in it for the long term - it is a big picture move for him. I think £1.5m in this modern era is nothing for any player, let alone a 20-year-old who is this highly rated."Liverpool have done really well because there were some other big clubs sniffing about. There were a lot of big European clubs interested but Pecsi chose Liverpool because he really liked what they sold him and, from what I understand, they do see him as a potential future number one goalkeeper."Listen to the full chat on BBC Sounds
