Liverpool have some stars who are ready to take the next step in their career.Things really have not gone to plan for the Reds so far this season, with performances being way off the levels they need to.This has meant Arne Slot has not even been able to give many youth players their chance, even if some of them are far too good to be playing for the Under 21s.Join our newsletter for news & smart analysis. In fact, there is one player who keeps on shining and could be on the verge of a first-team call-up if things were not going so wrong, suggesting he needs a loan move away.He has also just performed for the U21s yet again, meaning that in a month’s time, he must be one of the players contemplating a temporary exit.

I know he is the second-youngest goalscorer for Liverpool, which is absolutely exceptional, but there is a way to go.”He may no longer be the second-youngest due to Rio Ngumoha’s goal earlier this season, but it is still clear that the Englishman has bags of potential and needs the chance to show it.
