Liverpool 'building a dossier' on UNBELIEVABLE breakout star
Liverpool are known for the impressive stature of their academy and bring young players into the professional game.
There is a clear pathway for players to develop and either start their career on the front foot at Liverpool in the senior setup or elsewhere on the back of the platform that the club has given them.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Jarell Quansah, Conor Bradley and Caoimhin Kelleher all started out in Liverpool's academy and managed to break through.
Likewise, Rio Ngumoha, Trey Nyoni, Jayden Danns and Ben Doak are all banging on the door either in the youth setup or out on loan, showcasing what they are capable of before Arne Slot and the club make a decision on their future.
As such, Liverpool has become a club that is highly regarded when it comes to developing players and a new young talent has been linked with the club about a possible move following a bright start to his breakout into professional football.
'Unbelievable' Ryan One on Liverpool's radar
Since being brought up from Sheffield United's academy this season, 18-year-old Ryan One has 10 senior appearances for the Blades, scoring his first professional goal in November in a late turnaround against Bristol City in the Championship.
The Scottish forward has been really impressive since he has been given a regular run in the first team under Chris Wilder's leadership, and he has already been linked with a big move.
According to reporter Alan Nixon, Liverpool are "building a dossier" on the striker as they attempt to lure him to their academy.
This would be a significant move for the Reds to pull off given One is contracted at Sheffield until 2029, but the team's interest in him suggests that he is likely to be a star to keep an eye on going forward.
His former teammate at Hamilton Accies, Lewis Smith, spoke very highly of him before he made the move to the Premier League side.
Speaking via the Daily Record, he said: "I think everyone at the club backs him to do well down there and we are all so happy for him.
"He deserves it. He has worked really hard this season and he has got tons of ability. Ryan is an unbelievable player, for his age especially."
Were Liverpool to take the plunge the move could likely prove to be a success, given the work that the club has conducted with Ben Doak, another Scottish sensation, who is currently excelling at Middlesbrough and is being considered for a role in Liverpool's first-team setup.
One's sample size as a professional footballer is limited, but with the right nurturing and care taken, he could very well be a player for the club to consider if Sheffield United became willing to discuss a possible move.
