Rafa delighted with double swoop
Quote:
Rafael Benitez has revealed Liverpool beat off competition from a host of top European clubs to capture the signatures of highly promising Hungarian duo Krisztian Nemeth and Andras Simon.
The deal to sign the youngsters from MTK Hungaria was agreed on Monday and the Reds boss is excited at the prospect of them joining his squad.
"We have been watching these players for a long time," said Benitez.
"There were a lot of big clubs interested in them, such as Real Madrid, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven."
Nemeth, 18, and Simon, 17, appeared for Hungary in last year's UEFA Under-17 Championships. Both are strikers, while Nemeth can also operate in midfield.
Benitez added: "It's never easy for a young player to settle in England, but we know they have outstanding ability and we're really thankful to the president of their club for his fantastic co-operation in our negotiations."
