Liverpool Women have secured the long-term future of England youth international Josh Abe, who has committed to a three-year professional deal with the club. The 15-year-old winger, who has been linked to Manchester City and Chelsea, has signed scholarship terms with a pre-contract agreement in place for a three-year professional deal to start when he turns 17 in July 2027. Abe's commitment is a huge boost to Liverpool Women after months of discussions led by Fenway Sports Group technical director Julian Ward. Sources familiar with the process stated that the youngster was offered pro terms of up to £50,000 per week from Premier League rivals to move away from Liverpool Women. Ultimately, after taking time to weigh up his options, Abe and his family decided that the pathway available to the first-team at Liverpool Women meant that his interests would be best served by staying put. Abe has been fast-tracked into Liverpool Women's Under-18s and has been given a first-team squad number for the 2026-27 season. He will also be included in the first-team squad for next month's tour of the United States, which involves friendlies in Nashville, New York, and Chicago.
