Jurgen Klopp really rates 18-year-old gem who’s coming through at Liverpool

Liverpool’s academy has paid dividends massively this season.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones have continued to star for the first-team, while Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah have both enjoyed breakout campaigns.

The kids are alright at Liverpool, and, by the sounds of it, there are a few more on the production line right now just waiting to break through.

Speaking on , Neil Jones has been discussing one Liverpool youngster who Jurgen Klopp is said to be a huge fan of.

Jurgen Klopp a huge fan of Liverpool teenager

Jones spoke about Jayden Danns’ development, claiming that Klopp is a big fan of the teenage star.

“I tell you if you watch the last 12 months of Jayden Danns you’re seeing a player going in the right direction. Danns is very much a number nine in the Nunez bracket rather than the others,” Jones said.

“I know Jurgen Klopp has been particularly enamoured with him he’s been a big fan of him since he joined first-team training earlier this year, and it will be interesting to see what the next manager and staff think of him, because there’s no doubt in my mind there’s a player there.”

Jayden Danns has a bright future

This young man could be a star of the future.

Danns has been clinical in front of goal for the Liverpool youth teams this term, and he seems to have a scary level of confidence about him.

If he can refine his game and add a level of maturity and control, he could be a star.

Unfortunately, Jurgen Klopp won’t be around to oversee this development in the coming years, but, as Jones says, whoever the new manager is may well fancy giving Danns more first-team chances as this is a player who looks like he could reach the very top of the game.
