Liverpool are now considering permanent bids for teenager who left Jurgen Klopp ‘speechless’

Liverpool are yet to make a signing this summer but are now focussing on offloading some of their young talent.

The Reds promoted several players from the academy under Jurgen Klopp’s stewardship but now many are being linked with moves away.

Whether that’s to raise pure profit sales or because Arne Slot wants more experience, remains to be seen but it’s certainly a little disappointing to see for some fans.

Now, it has just emerged, that one of their most promising young players is thought to be up for sale.

Liverpool considering permanent bids for Ben Doak

According to Sky Sports journalist , Liverpool will consider permanent bids for teenage attacker Ben Doak.

The former Celtic youngster is attracting interest from newly promoted Leicester City along with a number of other clubs in the Premier League.

It’s thought Liverpool are open to loan offers, too, which is surely the more favoured option considering his lofty potential.

TBR reported last month that Southampton are also keen on Doak.

Jurgen Klopp was a big fan of Ben Doak

Doak has a really high reputation around Anfield and that was largely driven by Klopp, who was left ‘speechless’ () by his performance during a pre-season game against Karlsruher last summer.

“Ben Doak, oh my God, it’s much fun to watch these kids,” he said.

The former Reds boss handed the 2005-born a number of appearances for the first team, amplifying how highly he rated him.

So, if Liverpool were to allow Doak to leave on a permanent, it could certainly backfire on them.
