Lincoln City youth team defender, Jack Hobbs is all set to join a Premiership giant but it's not the one that was certain. The near enough 3 months, Hobbs has been linked with Arsenal and the Lincoln board discussed the Gunner's bid yesterday at a meeting but it turns out that he's heading elsewhere

Arsenal had made an offer but were said to be unhappy about the sell-on-clause that City had been demanded but after waiting to long, fellow Premiership side, Liverpool have taken Hobbs on trial for next week.

Hobbs has been linked with many Premiership sides including the Gunners, Red, Man United, Chelsea, Villa and Bolton but near enough all of them proved irrelevant because of Arsenal's apparant capture of the player but now, Liverpool have snuck in at the last minute and signed the defender.

We'll bring you more on this as we get it.
