Liverpool youngster Josh Abe attended Manchester City’s top-of-the-table clash against Arsenal on Sunday with his future not yet sorted.Abe is incredibly highly rated at Anfield, with the 15-year-old having already trained with Arne Slot’s first-team on more than one occasion.His talent is not a secret, though, and there have been plenty of rumours that Abe could leave Liverpool this summer. Arsenal and Man City have both been mentioned as being interested, and, in a potentially worrying sign for the Reds, he was spotted at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

With this latest hint, it feels probable that that will now be away from Anfield.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
