Emiliano Insua has been given a new deal by the club which ties the youngster down until June 2011. Insua broke through into the Liverpool first team at the end of last season, playing 5 matches.

He’s highly rated in Argentina where he consistently starts for the youth teams, and won the U-20 World Cup last year.

Offering a unique South American flavor of attack down the left flank from a defensive position, the 19-year-old will battle with Flabio Aurelio and Andrea Dossena for the left back spot next season.
