READ MORE: Michael Edwards could be about to give Liverpool a transfer problem similar to Mohamed Salah READ MORE:Raheem Sterling could lead Liverpool to next transfer as Jürgen Klopp has pick of £127.6m duo At 21 years of age, the Liverpool midfielder is now approaching a pivotal moment in his career.

It would be fair to say that Curtis Jones would have expected more from his 2021/22 campaign.



Liverpool could do with a goalscoring midfielder like Jones, and next season the club's academy product should aim to finally replicate his academy form at first team level.



After making his breakthrough in the previous season, 2021/22 felt like a golden opportunity for Jones to build on his performances especially after the departure of Gini Wijnaldum seemed to have paved a way for him into more first team action.



His boisterous energy and his ability on the ball meant even in the Premier League he ranked among the 97th percentile for progressive carriers and that is a trait he possesses that is unique in the current Liverpool team.

Granted, his 0.39 goal contributions as opposed 0.75 per 90 when looking at minutes spent on the pitch brings his productivity levels a little closer, but they are still far away from the output he should be aiming towards.

At academy level, Jones was a prolific goalscorer capable of scoring from long distance and popping up in the box at the right times.
