"Raheem is a very exciting young English player whose progress was being closely monitored by many other leading clubs and I'm delighted he's joining us.
"Frank McParland (academy director) and his staff have done a great job in bringing him to Liverpool."
The 15-year-old made his debut for the England U16 national team in November as a second-half substitute against Northern Ireland, and has gone on to make two further appearances.
