Liverpool 21-year-old could get his first minutes vs West Ham after clue - opinion

Liverpool have always been blessed with exciting talents coming through their academy, and it now looks as if a 21-year-old could get his first minutes of the season against West Ham.

Arne Slot hasn’t been afraid to lean on Jarell Quansah and Conor Bradley at times this season.

The former started on the opening day of the season against Ipswich Town but was taken off at half-time, and hasn’t received any more minutes since.

Bradley has been more involved under Slot as the back-up option to Trent Alexander-Arnold, with 74 minutes spread across four Premier League games.

Both players could start tonight with a Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers to come at the weekend.

Interestingly, there is one other Liverpool youngster who could be set to receive his first minutes of the season.

Liverpool 21-year-old could be involved after Under-21 hint on X

Liverpool’s Under-21s currently sit in sixth position after four games in the Premier League 2 with three wins and a loss to their name.

The good thing about the Premier League 2 is it allows the youngsters to impress onlookers at Liverpool, with opportunities always there for those who go that extra mile.

One player who was signed recently and is already impressed is Rio Ngumoha, who has been hailed as one of the best youngsters around.

Tyler Morton was missing from the Liverpool Under-21s line-up (as per BBC), so he could be involved against West Ham United.

Trey Nyoni was also absent.

Tyler Morton’s season to date for Liverpool

Tyler Morton was linked with loan moves away in the summer transfer window, but ended up staying at Liverpool after Arne Slot decided against letting him leave.

He’s impressed whilst away on England Under-21 duty already this season, which saw Morton receive praise from Manchester City player James McAtee.

However, he’s yet to receive any minutes from Arne Slot, despite him wanting him to stay.

The youngster was on the substitutes’ bench against AC Milan recently, so perhaps that’s a sign that Slot feels he’s ready to start incorporating him into sides.
