Special Liverpool wonderkid may be EVEN BETTER than Rio Ngumoha

Liverpool's exciting academy keeps producing better and better players and there's another special talent worth keeping an eye on.

Much has been made of the mercurial talent of Rio Ngumoha. The youngster has been sensational since arriving at the club's academy and even embarrassing first team players in training.

However, Liverpool are blessed to have even more than just one exciting talent. In fact there is another player who looks very special and who could have an even higher potential than Ngumoha or at least be on the same par as the former Chelsea winger.

In turn, he is making a strong case to earn a first team promotion soon.

Why Joe Bradshaw could be just as special as Rio Ngumoha

The player in question is Liverpool U18 winger Joe Bradshaw who is merely just about a month older than Ngumoha.

At just 16 years old, Bradshaw is already a regular member of the club's U18 squad, having featured in nine games last season aged just 15 at the time and making four goal contributions in those appearances in the U18 Premier League.

This season he has taken his game to another level.

Bradshaw has seven goals and two assists in 11 matches averaging a goal contribution every 102 minutes - more than who is currently averaging a goal contribution every 207 minutes at academy level.

Bradshaw is quick and explosive and he has a great eye in front of goal. Physically, he's already a powerful menace at U18 level.

He can play anywhere across the front three both on the left and right wing and has even featured in central positions at times.

His recent dominant performance against Wolverhampton on Saturday afternoon proved as much with Bradshaw scoring a brace and grabbing an assist in a 4-1 victory for Liverpool's U18 side - all while Ngumoha was on the pitch as well.

With so much attention and focus on Ngumoha, who is also clearly a very special talent with incredible ability, Bradshaw has gone a little unnoticed.

But with performances like the one on Saturday, it will be only a matter of time until he is promoted to the first team as well.

Considering Ngumoha is regularly training with the Liverpool first team squad, Bradshaw definitely deserves similar recognition.

With the FA Cup game coming up against Accrington Stanley in January that could be a golden opportunity for the Liverpool youngster to make his mark.
