Another player now looks set to leave Liverpool imminently following the reported acceptance of an offer by the Merseyside club.<\/p>\n
Luca Stephenson has spent the past two seasons on loan at Dundee United, and although he\u2019s played for the Reds in a handful of pre-season games, an official LFC debut remained elusive<\/a>.<\/p>\n DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL EMPIRE OF THE KOP APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
