Liverpool defender Stephen Darby is set to join Swindon on loan.

The 21-year-old full-back has been tipped to become a Reds star in the future and has already featured in the first team this season.

But manager Rafa Benitez is keen for the youngster to gain regular playing time for the remainder of the campaign and that would not be on offer at Anfield.

League One promotion hopefuls Swindon have therefore moved quickly as manager Danny Wilson aims to add what could prove decisive quality at a critical period.

It is understood that Darby is on his way to the County Ground for talks on Wednesday afternoon, with Swindon keen to reinforce their squad after taking only one point from their last three games.

The former England Under 19 international made his full Reds debut in the UEFA Champions League defeat to Fiorentina in December and marked the occasion with an error that demonstrated his naivety when gifting Alberto Gilardino the wining goal.

But Liverpool-born Darby made an impressive return to the first team in the initial FA Cup draw with Reading at the Madejski Stadium.

Liverpool have signed midfielder Raheem Sterling from Championship side Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee.

The 15-year-old an attacking-minded midfielder had courted interest from fellow Premier League clubs Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham but has secured a move to the Merseyside club.

Sterling has already represented England at youth level and the Reds were delighted to have secured his signature.

Liverpool managing director Christian Purslow said: “The success of our academy is vital to the future progress of the club and we have made clear that we will invest in outstanding young talent.

“Raheem is a very exciting young English player whose progress was being closely monitored by many other leading clubs and I’m delighted he’s joining us.

“Frank McParland (academy director) and his staff have done a great job in bringing him to Liverpool.”

According to Voetbal International, the young Bulgarian goalkeeper has been signed on a free transfer.  Mihaylov has been on loan at Twente since 2007 but managed only 3 appearances and has now signed a permanent deal until July 2012.

Steve McClaren sees Mihaylov as a good replacement for the ageing Sander Boschker who is likely to retire in the next 18 months.

Liverpool FC have yet to confirm this transfer.

Liverpool have announced that German youngster Christopher Buchtmann has joined Fulham.

The left-back joined the Academy in 2008 from Borussia Dortmund and was a pivotal part of the side that reached the FA Youth Cup final last season.

He was named among UEFA’s top 10 stars of the future in May 2009 and made the move to train full-time at Melwood last summer.

He also featured for Germany when they won the UEFA U17 European Championship last year.

Liverpoolfc.tv would like to wish Chris all the very best for the future.

Liverpool teenager Vincent Weijl has completed a loan move to Dutch second tier side Helmond Sport.

As revealed by skysports.com last week, the attacking midfielder was poised for a return to his homeland in order to gain first-team experience.

The 19-year-old was thought to be a target for a number of Eredivisie sides but will now turn out for Helmond in the Jupiler League until the end of the season.

The Dutch Under-21 international’s contract with the Reds runs until June 2011 after signing from AZ in 2008.

Anfield boss Rafa Benitez is believed to hold the playmaker in high regard and Weijl could yet have a bright future at the club.
