Liverpool youngster Elijah Gift has confirmed that he will be leaving the club to join Athletic Bilbao and return to his native country.
The ECHO understands that, while the fee will remain undisclosed, Liverpool received a good offer for the 17-year-old, who was signed from Huddersfield Town as an Under-12s player, with The Athletic reporting it to be in the region of £1m.
Bilbao famously only select players from the Basque region, with Gift, who was born in the town of Corella, costing a premium for the Spaniards as a result after interest emerged.
