Liverpool have one of the fastest teenagers in the country and he's incredible Liverpool may have one of the fastest teenagers playing at academy level in the entire country. Speed is something you desperately need in the modern game. Just look at the way Paris Saint German play.
Nuno Mendes, Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi are all extremely fast. Obviously you need more than just speed, but this element of speed in abundance helps PSG to be one of the best teams on the planet right now. Looking inward, Liverpool lack this element in their game.
Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong have definitely added explosiveness to the side, but it's still a million miles away from the sheer speed of prime Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah bombing down both wings in their prime. That was a terrifying time to be a Premier League defender facing Liverpool. Now it's not quite the same.
Liverpool definitely want to add more speed to the first-team, and it looks like that is what they are targeting this summer. But there's also an exciting young player in the club's academy who may be one of the fastest teenagers in the country. Everyone thinks the only noteworthy young player in Liverpool's academy ranks is Rio Ngumoha at the moment.
