Article body
UEFA Champions League finalists Liverpool FC have continued to build for the future by acquiring Hungarian youth internationals Krisztián Németh and András Simon from MTK Budapest.
Scoring success
The 18-year-old striker Németh scored eleven competitive goals last season for Hungary's Under-17 side as they reached the UEFA European Championship and he has since stepped up to the U19 squad in addition to registering 12 goals in as many 1. Liga matches for MTK this term. The 17-year-old Simon, another forward, was also part of the Hungary team that got to last summer's U17 finals in Luxembourg and was still involved this season although his four strikes in five qualifiers were not enough to help his side into the final tournament.
