Ben Doak has shown great promise at Liverpool, with his direct, fast, and fearless style on the field.

The 19-year-old has quickly become a player that fans love to watch, especially for his ability to take defenders on.

However, there are areas in his game that need refining, especially his end product.

His injury record has also been a concern, which has limited his progress.

Liverpool now finds itself at a crossroads with the young winger, as the club considers its options for his future.

There are a few possible directions for Doak’s future at Liverpool.

One option is to loan him out again, similar to last season, to a Championship or lower Premier League club where he can get regular football.

This would give him the game time needed to improve and gain valuable experience.

The alternative is to sell him to generate funds, especially if a big offer comes in.

Another route would be keeping him as a sixth-choice forward, though his game time would likely be minimal.

According to Lewis Steele of The Daily Mail, Everton, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth have shown interest, but none have been willing to meet Liverpool’s £25 million-plus asking price.

Lewis Steele, speaking about Doak, said: “I love watching Doak.

Direct, fast, fearless.

Maybe he needs to improve his end product but he is 19 and, likewise, there are worries about his injury record.”

Steele went on to suggest the possible options for Liverpool: “There are three options for Liverpool now: loan him out to the Championship or bottom-half Premier League again where he will – all being well with fitness – play 35 or so games in a competitive league; sell him to generate funds; have him as sixth-choice forward.”

Steele personally prefers a loan move: “Personally I would loan him out unless a huge bid comes in, with a buyback clause.”

“Everton, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth have all kept tabs on him, but none have been willing to cough up the £25 million-plus fee Liverpool are after.”

For now, the future of Doak remains uncertain, with a loan move looking the most likely unless a big bid materialises.
