Liverpool's Argentinian midfielder Sebastian Leto is set to spend next season out on loan with Greek side Olympiacos.

The 21-year-old made four appearances for the Reds last season and has been assured that he still has a long-term future at Anfield by manager Rafa Benitez.

Leto told the Greek media: "I spoke with people at the club and the decision is to leave and to play somewhere else on loan for one season.

"I have some offers from Italy and Spain but Olympiacos is the best club for me at the moment.

"I spoke with Rafa Benitez and he told me that he wants me, but I can't stay without the correct passport.

"He advised me to go somewhere else to play for one season and to return next summer. He is right."

Meanwhile, Benitez has snapped up two more promising youngsters to bolster his Anfield squad.

Spanish defender Emmanuel Mendy has joined on a three-year contract from Murcia Deportivo, while French striker David Ngog has penned a four-year deal to complete a move from Paris St Germain.
