Liverpool have plenty of exciting young players coming through their ranks at the moment, with the recruitment team putting a real focus on snapping up some of the best talents in the country.Rio Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni were both acquired from elsewhere, showcasing the value in going after players in other English academies. However, Liverpool have also been on the receiving end of these tactics.

Both were highly-rated at Anfield, along with Irish youngster Kai Morrall, who, having moved to Leeds in December, has now been tipped as one of the Guardian’s ‘Next Generation‘. While the international break has given the likes of Florian Wirtz a chance to reset, Liverpool now look set to face Man City without some key stars.
