Liverpool staff members have reportedly been left impressed by one youngster who is starting to catch the eye in pre-season.

Arne Slot’s side got off to a winning start on their tour of the United States with a 1-0 victory against Real Betis, with a number of youngsters such as Vitezslav Jaros, Luca Stephenson and Ben Doak all impressing in Pittsburgh.

With so many academy graduates on in the Liverpool squad, it’s no real surprise that some are starting to catch the eye of the first-team staff, with the Reds missing key players through featuring in the Euros and Copa America.

Yet there’s one youngster who is really impressing Liverpool officials this summer.

Liverpool coaches already wowed by teenage talent Trey Nyoni

According to the Times, 17-year-old midfielder Trey Nyoni has stood out already to Liverpool staff, with the teenager impressing against Betis this week despite playing just 40 minutes in the match.

Hailed by Slot and Dominik Szoboszlai for his performance, Nyoni only joined the Reds last year and has since gone on to make his professional first-team debut, with next season set to be a big one for the England youth international.

Hailed as ‘special’ by Liverpool fans, Nyoni could easily break into Slot’s first-team plans given how open the Dutch coach is to giving youngsters chances in the senior squad if they prove they’re ready for the opportunity.

And with Liverpool coaches and staff already impressed with what they’ve seen from Nyoni, we are from done with seeing the midfielder in pre-season, who could make a real statement in upcoming fixtures.

Nyoni will want to leave an impact on Slot this summer

Nyoni is one of the youngest players in Liverpool’s pre-season squad, with the midfielder taking his chance against Betis with both hands in what was a truly impressive cameo for the teenager.

And with big friendlies coming up against Arsenal and Manchester United, Nyoni will want to impress again in these fixtures for Liverpool, which could lead to a promotion to Slot’s senior squad.

Indeed, Nyoni has a big future in the game and could become a key player for Liverpool if his development continues at its current pace, and more showcase performances in the States can go a long way in the teenager featuring in the Premier League next season.
