Conor Bradley has admitted that he has felt appreciated by Liverpool this season with Jurgen Klopp regularly keeping an eye on the defender’s loan spell at Bolton Wanderers.
Speaking to Bolton News, the teenage fullback revealed that he is a fan of the Reds boss monitoring his process out in League One this season, with Bradley enjoying a fantastic campaign with Bolton that has seen the 19-year-old win the EFL Trophy and qualify for the playoffs.
Bradley is one of Liverpool’s highest-rated prospects and is already in line to feature for the Anfield side this summer in pre-season, with some supporters even predicting that the Northern Ireland international could be part of the senior team.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold evolving into a midfielder, there could be a good claim to the argument that Bradley might feature for Klopp next season, and with the Liverpool manager regularly checking in on the defender’s process, the youngster himself now feels appreciated by the German.
Bradley said when asked about Klopp keeping tabs on the fullback this season out with Bolton: “The fact he has been keeping an eye on me the whole year is really nice to hear. With Liverpool, we will take that into the summer and then wait and see what happens from there.”
Klopp looks primed to promote Bradley to the first team this summer
Bradley has been arguably Liverpool’s best loan player this season, and the defender’s performances out in the English third-tier now look to have set the teenager up for a spot in the Reds’ senior team this summer, with Klopp seemingly a fan of the Northern Ireland star.
Indeed, Bradley has taken huge leaps in his development this season at Bolton, and whilst another year out on loan could be beneficial for the fullback, the player himself seems confident in his abilities to take on the Premier League as Alexander-Arnold’s prodigy.
