EXCLUSIVE: Special Liverpool wonderkid 'well liked' by Arne Slot

Arne Slot seems to be a big fan of an exciting Liverpool wonderkid who is already training with the first team.

The Reds' head coach has given youth opportunities when warranted but he's shown that you have to be ready and first team debuts won't just be handed out on a mere whim.

The players who have made their mark at first team level so far have all been players who have caught the eye in training sessions.

This includes the likes of Rio Ngumoha, who the Reds were forced to clip out training footage videos of in order to contain the hype around him, so impressive was the young teenager in first team training as revealed exclusively by Anfield Watch.

There have also been the likes of Trey Nyoni, Amara Nallo, Jayden Danns and James McConnell who have made their mark and there is another exciting talent hoping to follow in their footsteps.

Why Arne Slot is an admirer of Kieran Morrison

Another young star showcasing his talent this season is Kieran Morrison. He's been catching the eye at U21 level for the club's second team.

Capable of playing both as a winger and as an attacking midfielder, he's even played as a false nine this season.

A really intelligent player, Morrison is still only 18 years old and he's been training with the first team recently as well.

An opportunity at that level looks only a matter of time and Morrison was one of the players highlighted on Anfield Watch's latest YouTube video as one to watch in 2025 from the club's academy.

In that video, Liverpool academy expert exclusively told Anfield Watch that Morrison is well liked by Slot.

"He's still eligible for the U18s but he's an U21 regular and he's coping with the physicality quite well you'd say," Bower said.

"I really like the way he rides contact and keeps control of the ball and his ball striking the consistency of is ridiculous. That's definitely one of his biggest assets.

"When he gets in those pockets, he's always going to be a threat with whichever side he's in. And, yeah he's got a bit of one vs one trickery as well. He's definitely capable of a trick or two.

"He seems to be well liked by Arnie Slot. He's been in first team training this week. And the impression is Arnie Slot is very much of a mindset, if you're not good enough, if you can't cope with intensity you can't be there, so that bodes extremely well for him.

"Northern Ireland have an exciting young player on their hands."
