Liverpool youngster lauded as ‘an inspiration’ after 3-0 win with loan club

Liverpool were unusually quiet in this summer’s transfer window, with the Reds making just two permanent signings as well as making only a handful of sales.

Sepp van ben Berg and Fabio Carvalho both joined Brentford as Federico Chiesa and Giorgi Mamardashvili arrived at Anfield, with Liverpool also allowing a number of youngsters to leave on loan.

One such player to depart Merseyside for the season was Owen Beck, with the young defender joining Championship side Blackburn Rovers, a club Liverpool have had considerable success with over the years in regards to loaning out players.

And the 22-year-old fullback is already making quite an impact with his loan club.

Owen Beck Blackburn’s ‘standout’ in 3-0 win vs Bristol City

As per journalist Lewis Bower, Beck was key for Blackburn in their 3-0 victory against Championship side Bristol City this weekend, with the defender winning 11 out of 16 duels as well as completing 4 dribbles from an attempted 5.

Bower wrote: “Well, one standout today was Owen Beck. He won 11 from 16 duels for Blackburn today! He completed 4/5 from 5 dribbles as well. What a baptism of fire. This lad is an inspiration in how to react to set-backs. Great player in his own right.”

With Celtic linked with Beck this summer, the Liverpool defender is certainly making a name for himself this season with Blackburn having failed to break into the Reds’ first-team squad despite some appearances over the years under Jurgen Klopp.

Indeed, the Championship is proving to be an excellent platform for Beck to develop his game, and Blackburn are once again showing why they’re an ideal club for Liverpool to send their loan players to.

Liverpool could sell Beck for a big profit next summer

Beck is showing he can be a standout performer in the Championship, and at 22-years-old, Liverpool could be in an excellent position to cash in on the defender next summer upon his Anfield return.

Even if Beck was to become the best defender in the English second-tier, the odds of the fullback breaking into Slot’s first-team plans remain low, with the Reds having two quality options on both sides.

And if an offer was to be made next summer, Liverpool could make a big profit on Beck, who could be keen to leave for regular first-team football after a year in the Championship with Blackburn.
