Sensational Liverpool wonderkid is READY for first-team DEBUT

There's an exciting wonderkid at Liverpool who is getting closer and closer to making his first team debut.

Chances have come more sparsely for young players under Arne Slot, but there is one player in the academy who is becoming hard to ignore at the moment.

And it's probably not one of the names you will have heard of. Trey Nyoni is catching the eye and so is Rio Ngumoha but there is someone else in the team who is currently performing at the same level but perhaps hasn't quite yet gotten the same opportunities just yet.

His time, though, could be soon, with games coming thick and fast in the calendar for Slot and his team following the November international break.

Why Kieran Morrison is ready to make his first team debut at Liverpool

The player in question is of course Kieran Morrison who is quietly becoming the biggest gem in the academy at the moment.

At the weekend, Morrison registered a hat-trick of assists against Wolverhampton's U21 side and then came up clutch in the U19 game against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday afternoon scoring a vital equaliser.

The 17-year-old now has four goals and three assists in all competitions for Liverpool and he's made the step-up to U21 football after registering 15 goal contributions in 20 U18 Premier League matches last season, with ease.

His run of form and his ability to make the difference in vital moments makes him an ideal option for Slot's first team squad.

The fact that he is capable of playing both as a right-winger or an attacking midfielder also makes him an attractive asset.

Those are positions where Slot isn't currently blessed with a lot of options. Particularly when it comes to having a back-up for Mohamed Salah on the right wing.

When could Morrison make his debut for Liverpool?

We've rarely seen Slot use academy players in matchday squads so far this season, but Liverpool are going to be in the thick of it soon with crucial games in the Premier League and the Champions League week in week out.

The domestic cups could become less of a priority and just like how we saw under Jurgen Klopp, Slot could also utilise more of his academy talent in these games, especially if Liverpool are hit with more injuries.

That would mean we could see Morrison make his debut for the club in the League Cup, but probably more likely in the FA Cup in January when Liverpool take on their third round opponents.

Although everything depends on the draw and how strong those opponents will be.

One thing is for certain, Morrison is ready to make that step-up whenever that time will be.
