Liverpool FC are not done doing business in what has been a very busy January transfer window. Having already broken the club transfer sale (Philippe Coutinho) and purchase (Virgil van Dijk) records this window, Anfield went out and added another player in youngster Tony Gallacher from Falkirk.
The 18-year-old defender moves over on a permanent transfer and joins the Liverpool FC developmental squad. Perhaps we’ll see yet another deal from the Reds before the window closes? We still have four days left to go.
We're delighted to confirm the signing of Tony Gallacher from Falkirk.

The northwest England club announced the deal on their official website, with the following statement published on Falkirk’s official site:
“This is an incredible opportunity for Tony. It’s not very often that a move like this comes about and I am really pleased that he has been given the chance to go down there and prove what a great young talent he is,” says Falkirk boss Paul Hartley.
“We are not a club that would stand in a player’s way when an opportunity like this presents itself and Tony leaves with our very best wishes.”
