Liverpool ‘keeping tabs’ on Sunderland goalkeeper Matty Young after Huddersfield loan | OneFootball

Liverpool are monitoring Sunderland goalkeeper Matty Young after his strong start on loan at Huddersfield Town, a report on Patreon claims, adding that the 19-year-old is viewed as a potential future number one and that Sunderland would need a significant bid to sell.

Young signed a long-term Sunderland deal until 2030 before joining League One Huddersfield on a season-long loan in the summer. He has started all eight league games, conceding seven goals and keeping two clean sheets. He recently made his 100th senior appearance in the Terriers’ 3-1 win over Burton Albion.

Despite his age, Young has already built substantial senior experience. He featured for Darlington, then became Salford City’s first-choice across two loan spells. He made 77 appearances for Salford and kept 15 clean sheets last season as they reached the League Two play-off final.

Sunderland rate Young highly and see his Huddersfield stint as the next step in his development. Robin Roefs remains the Black Cats’ established first-choice goalkeeper, with Young considered a possible long-term successor.

Liverpool’s interest underlines the teenager’s growing reputation. His lengthy contract leaves Sunderland in a strong position if any approach emerges.
