Liverpool’s academy has nurtured a number of great young talents through to the first team in recent years, and now it looks like there may be another ready to break through.
The Reds approach to developing youth players has changed slightly in recent years, with more emphasis now being placed on signing exciting young talents before they have broken through into other teams’ senior squads.
This has been the case with players such as Harvey Elliott, who was signed by Fulham aged 16, although Elliott had made his senior debut for the Cottagers.
Elliott has now made 120 appearances for Liverpool and is the perfect example of how this model is supposed to work.
This summer the Reds continued their strategy with the signings of Alvin Ayman and Rio Ngumoha, but it is the latter that has been making headlines.
