Liverpool believe they have second Rio Ngumoha: A wonderkid who can reach the elite level

Josh Abe is next

Similar hype is now growing around Josh Abe. The 16-year-old is training with Liverpool's first-team as they attempt to lock his long-term future down.

Because Abe is an enormous talent. Liverpool rarely gift players this young time with the senior group - it's reserved for the truly special ones.

But they believe Abe is exactly that. The Athletic quotes those working with the teenager as believing he can reach the 'highest level'.

Liverpool just need to hope that it's with them. Abe will soon need to sign a contract with a club and despite being with the Reds since he was nine, they have no right to keep him. Not until he signs.
