It will be heartbreaking when Jurgen Klopp leaves Liverpool - we want to win the Premier League for him
It has been a season to remember for the Liverpool Academy so far, with a number of Reds starlets hoping it will still get even better.
Jurgen Klopp has called upon the services of 17 different academy graduates and starlets this season.
And while such a list includes Trent-Alexander Arnold, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Caoimhin Kelleher, the rest are all recent graduates, like Jarell Quansah and Conor Bradley, or first-team rookies stepping up in the club’s hour of need in the midst of a hefty injury crisis.
The highlight for the young Reds has inevitably been last month’s Carabao Cup final win over Chelsea. Bradley started at Wembley, while Quansah, Bobby Clark, James McConnell and Jayden Danns all emerged from the bench. Meanwhile, Lewis Koumas and Trey Nyoni were unused substitutes, ahead of making their senior debuts in Liverpool’s FA Cup fifth-round win over Southampton days later.

Having got their first taste of silverware, the club’s next generation are hungry for more. And feeling a debt of gratitude to Klopp for handing them senior debuts and trusting them to step up, they are all eyeing up further trophies under the German ahead of his ‘heartbreaking’ exit in the summer.
“We all want to win everything, especially for us and obviously for the gaffer since it’s his last season and everything,” Clark told the club, when sitting down for a group interview alongside Koumas, McConnell, Quansah, and Bradley. “Being around this team and what we can go for. We won the Carabao Cup, and there’s so much more to come hopefully.
