Alex Broadway/Getty Images Former Liverpool midfielder David Thompson has praised Trey Nyoni’s development, describing the teenager’s progress since breaking into the senior side as ‘absolutely rapid’. In January last year, Nyoni became Liverpool’s youngest player to feature in European competition with his Champions League debut against PSV Eindhoven, a record since claimed by Rio Ngumoha.

Following Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over the Eagles, Thompson was quick to recognise the difference Nyoni has made since coming into the side, stressing that his contributions have been noticeable. He also drew attention to the midfielder’s continued development, pointing out that his progress had been evident since pre-season and that he has continued to improve with each appearance.

The former Liverpool midfielder believes Nyoni is developing at an impressive rate, with the rapid progress he has made in recent months particularly striking. Nyoni has also had no shortage of backing from former Liverpool players, with Phil Thompson calling for him to be handed a start ahead of the meeting with Brentford in October, while Jason McAteer noted that he was impressed by the midfielder’s ability to read the game.
