The Hatters can confirm that Premier League giants Liverpool have signed the Under 15 player Dave Moli for an undisclosed fee.
Moli, who was recommended to the Town in 2006 before going onto sign Centre of Excellence forms, has been relocated to the North West and will now attend school on Merseyside in addition to training five times a week at the Reds' Academy.
Impressive displays for the Hatters' youth teams alerted the attentions of several Premier League clubs which eventually led to an illegal approach for the youngster that prompted an official complaint from the Town to the Football Association.
Liverpool, however, made an official approach in October which was accepted by the Hatters' board and Moli was invited to train for a week at their Academy in Kirkby.
After impressing the watching David Moss and Kenny Dalglish, Moli signed for the Reds on 29th October.
Youth Development Officer Gregg Broughton admitted the Club's decision to allow the Reds to speak to Moli was a tough one.
He said: "Although we never like to lose talented footballers from Luton Town, it is also important that if it is right for the Football Club that we don't stand in the way of a young player's development.
"It is not our usual policy to allow any of our young players to leave Kenilworth Road for another club.
"Nobody wants to see a player with potential such as Dave's leave but on this occasion we took into consideration a number of factors.
"The first is the value of the player in the short and long term, while the second takes into account the player's natural footballing progression and development.
"All of these aspects were taken into consideration and we felt it right to allow Dave and his family to talk to Liverpool.
"We're delighted to be able to accept a bid on behalf of such a big club but stress that the Club's policy of allowing young players to leave is a strict one.
"If we didn't undertake such a stringent policy we believe we would lose a number of our talented players to other clubs which would in tern have a detrimental affect on this Club in the long run."
Everyone at Luton Town wishes Dave the very best for the future.
