The 25-year-old’s time with the Reds is over, and he took to social media on Friday evening to show his love for his teammates and the supporters, saying: “To all the lads I’ve shared a dressing room with over the years, thank you. I will always be one of you.

But Liverpool will always be a massive part of me. I came here as a kid with a dream and I’m leaving having lived it.” For many Liverpool fans, the Reds must bring in a tailor-made replacement for Jones, but speaking to TEAMtalk, Bailey claimed Trey Nyoni is likely to be the man to fill the void, also discussing previous options: “Before pre-season I am told that Andoni Iraola, aware of the Curtis Jones situation, was worried about the depth – one reason he wanted Jones to stay.

“Then in comes Nyoni and he has blown Iraola away, they firmly believe he is first-team ready and can compete with the likes of Szoboszlai, Gravenberch and Mac Allister – they really see that as a midfield four and they even have Endo still around.” Can Trey Nyoni become a genuine Liverpool squad player? Nyoni has a strong case for being Liverpool’s best player in pre-season, and he is a young footballer with so much promise in midfield, displaying calm, intelligence and technical ability.
