Liverpool are not short on young talent who could be the future of the club.The Reds have been known in their time to harbour some special talent in their academy ranks and have made many of them into successful worldwide superstars.Most recently, the standout product of the youth setup was Trent Alexander-Arnold, who, when introduced to the team, became a starting right-back and went on to win the Premier League and Champions League with them.In the past, names such as Steven Gerrard and Robbie Fowler made their names and took the club forward, having been well-prepared through the incredible training setup of the youth department.Now, if you were to look at the academy, there are still some who evoke those special feelings when you look at their talent, and the manager of the department, Rob Page, knows exactly who are going to be the future.Photo by Grzegorz Wajda/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesRob Page tips Jayden Danns to become England’s next No. 9Two of the youth stars he has at his disposal are arguably the brightest talents that England have in Rio Ngumoha and Jayden Danns.Ngumoha has shown, since joining the club fairly recently, that he is one of the prospects in world football at just 17 and scoring his first senior goal for the club to beat Newcastle United in August.Page spoke highly of the teenager to talkSPORT, and explained what makes him such a special player.He said: “He’s a special talent, I’m not going to lie.“In high pressure situations he manages to step it up, he has such a calmness about him, but what a humble kid too.“First and foremost I’m impressed by his attitude, he wants to learn every single day and he doesn’t switch off.”Page was not just gushing over the former Chelsea academy star but also Danns, who he believes can go all the way for the club but definitely his country.The 19-year-old made his name known to fans, featuring in some of Jurgen Klopp’s League Cup and FA Cup teams, with the latter seeing him score his first two goals for the team.Speaking about the talent, Page made a bold statement about him being the successor to Harry Kane in the England squad.“I’ve got Jayden Danns here as well who’s probably going to be the next England No.9 in years to come,” Page said.Liverpool have one of the best youth setups in the Premier LeagueAlready, it is clear that these two are going to be the ones to be the future of this club, but they are definitely not the only ones, given some of the names who have graduated recently.Players like Tyler Morton, who has gone on to be a success so far in his time at Lyon, and even Neco Williams, who is starting for Nottingham Forest and Wales.READ MORE: Liverpool told they’ve sold a player like prime Casemiro as local journalists hail former RedThere is also an abundance of other names that are either in the academy or who have gone elsewhere, but it shows that they are one of the best clubs in the league at nurturing and producing real talent.It will be interesting to see how Arne Slot decides to use these stars, with Ngumoha clearly being primed for a quick turnaround into the first team.
