Liverpool midfielder Leighton Clarkson has joined Aberdeen permanently this summer.

The 21-year-old managed 38 games and scored six goals for the Scottish Premiership club.

As Aberdeen finished third and will be in the Europa League, Clarkson was happy to sign for the club.

Clarkson had been at Liverpool since the age of six, progressing through the club's academy.

He was also on loan at Blackburn Rovers during the first half of the 2021-2022 season.

Given he was never first team material in the eyes of Jurgen Klopp, a move away seemed inevitable.
