Liverpool wonderkid makes it 12 goals in 10 to move on brink of first-team One Liverpool academy star is right on the brink of the first-team. He's made it 12 goals in 10 games. Liverpool have spent a lot of time and money on their academy system, hoping to pull it out of the dark period in the 2000s where very few players made it to senior level.
They've done just that. Trent Alexander-Arnold was the crown jewel, of course, but the likes of Curtis Jones, Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah, and Conor Bradley have all become established senior players in recent years. That's a brilliant job well done but the process is far from over.
Rio Ngumoha is another Liverpool hope to promote to the senior side permanently, while it feels as though Kieran Morrison is right on the brink here. The attacker has excelled with the Under 21s in Premier League 2 over the second half of the season, making a clear development jump. In fact, it really feels as though he's outgrowing the level.
Morrison scored again for the U21s against Crystal Palace on Sunday. It's his 12th goal in 10 PL2 matches, with three assists going alongside those. Another even small jump from Morrison would put him right in the mix for a first-team place.
