FC Twente have completed the loan signing of goalkeeper Nikolay Mihaylov from Liverpool.

The Bulgarian youth international only arrived on Merseyside this summer but will spend the 2007-08 season in Holland, FC Twente announced on their official website.

The Reds signed Mihaylov from Levski Sofia on a five-year deal, but the 19-year-old son of goalkeeping legend Borislav does not have a work permit to play in England.

Mihaylov is the third goalkeeper in coach Fred Rutten's squad along with number one Sander Boschker and Cees Paauwe.
