German wonderkid looks ahead to a bright Anfield career

Liverpool have signed another talented young player - this time, from Germany. German wonderkid Christopher Buchtmann has spoken for the first time of his excitement at beginning life at Liverpool.
The 16-year-old Borussia Dortmund man has been plucked out of Die Bundesliga by Rafa Benitez, after Liverpool’s extensive scouting team recommended him.
Buchtmann is one of Germany’s most talented young players, and can either play on the left side of defence or midfield.
He has already experienced the Anfield atmosphere when invited over for the League Cup clash against Cardiff, and the teenager admits he has never experienced anything like it.
“When the fans start to sing, you do not know what to say,” Buchtmann told RevierSport.
“I want to spend some time at Anfield. Apparently Steven Gerrard sometimes visits the junior games and talks with the players.
“My whole life I have had enough English to survive, but if I had known I would need a Liverpudlian accent, I would probably have been more attentive at school!”
Buchtmann was well ahead of his peers at Dortmund, being thrown into the A team three years ahead of schedule. Liverpool agreed to sign the youngster at the start of 2008.
