Leto gone (but hopefully not to be forgotten!)


You've probably heard that Sebastian Leto was denied a work permit again.

The 21-year-old left winger made a couple of first team appearances and was a regular for the reserves leading up to Christmas last year but then mysteriously disappeared from the scene.

This was apparently because the Italian passport which allowed him to move to Anfield from Argentinean side Lanus without needing a work permit was dodgy and was subsequently revoked.

He was denied a work permit to play in England earlier this week much to the annoyance of Rafa Benitez and so he has been sent on loan to Olympiakos for two seasons with the hope that after this he might qualify to play in England.

We'll keep an eye on Leto, who showed some glimpses of his talent in his brief stint at Liverpool, and hope he does not suffer the same fate as the eternal loanee Alou Diarra.
