EXCLUSIVE: The lowdown on Warren Zaire-Emery as Liverpool eye 'priceless' PSG star

From Trent Alexander-Arnold to Curtis Jones and the likes of Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah now shining in the first team.

There are many others ready to take the next step as well. Lewis Koumas and Jayden Danns out on loan have high hopes for their futures.

Rio Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni have both made their marks at first team level, and there's plenty of U18 and U21 talents catching the eye at academy level as well.

But there's another talent worth keeping an eye on who you might not have heard about yet and who just made his first international appearance for England.

Who is Joshua Abe? The Liverpool youngster who just made his international bow

There is a young talent at the academy called Joshua Abe, who has seemed to attract a lot of hype on social media.

He is a left-footed right-winger, who goes past players with ease and excels in one vs one situations.

As a winger, he is proficient in both scoring goals and creating chances for his teammates with the ability to cut onto his left foot from the right flank and deliver a pass or a shot.

The Secret Scout on X has likened him to Callum Hudson-Odoi but there have been other comparisons made to Savinho and Bukayo Saka as well.

Recently, he competed at the U15 Pape Cup in Magdeburg, Germany, alongside another promising young player in Vincent Joseph.

The duo helped the Reds win the trophy at the in-door football tournament which saw the likes of Ajax, Bayern Munich, Tottenham, PSV and Bayer Leverkusen take part.

Liverpool defeated Union Berlin in the final with Abe scoring the Reds' third goal in a 3-3 draw before he went onto convert his penalty in the shoot-out to ensure his side won 5-3 and took the trophy home. You can watch the whole game on this link here.

Now the Liverpool youngster has also made another major career breakthrough. Abe received his first call-up to England's youth national team this month and made his debut for the U15 team against Turkey.

Starting the game for England, Abe played his role in an 8-0 drubbing of Turkey by scoring on his international debut and registering an assist.

Abe has been at the club since U9 level and signed his first ever contract at Liverpool at Anfield.

Liverpool's very own academy graduate, Trent Alexander-Arnold, was present on the special day in 2018, as shared by Liverpool's official website at the time.

Almost seven years later, Abe is still making great strides in the academy and undoubtedly the goal, just like for any other academy player, will be to follow in Alexander-Arnold's footsteps.

Making his England bow is a brilliant next step for the youngster, and Liverpool will be delighted with the performance and his ability to make his mark in his first ever England appearance.
