Media seriously impressed by Liverpool youngster’s display vs Leicester today

Liverpool thrashed L🦩eicester City 4-0 in a pre-season friendly today and youngster Ben Doak impressed the media with his display.

The Reds are enjoying a promising pre-season so far as they are yet to taste defeat in their tour of 🌱the Far East.

Jurgen Klopp is integrating summer signings Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister into his side as he prepares for ☂the new campaign.

Liverpool are expected to reinforce their midfield further after the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. But the German boss will be delighted with his side’s display on ♏Sunday as they put four past Leicester Ci꧋ty. 

Darwin Nunez opened the scoring midway through the first-half🔯 before Bobby Clark and Diogo Jota gave them a 3-0 lead heading into half-time.

And Ben Doak came off the bench to get amongst the ཧgoals and earned high praise from the media off the back of his display.♊

Doak has really caught the eye during pre-season𒅌 and could be set for a more prominent role under Klopp this season.

The Scotsman impressed for the Under🔴-21s last time out as he netted eight times and provided six assists in 21 appearances.

Of course, Doak will face an uphill battle breaking into Liverpool’s side this season due ﷽to Klopp’s wealth of options up-front.

But the youngster has proven he could play an important role💧🦋 as a back-up option to Mohamed Salah.
