Trey Nyoni closes in on DREAM move as Arne Slot confirms plans
Trey Nyoni could finally get his chance at Liverpool as he nears a dream scenario with the Reds.
Arne Slot's side are just two wins away from securing the Premier League title meaning they just need six points from their next six matches.

That is of course, if Arsenal do not drop any further points, because Liverpool may need even less than six points in that scenario.
It is at this stage almost guaranteed that Liverpool are going to win the league but Slot confirmed the club's plans that he will not be resting on his laurels.
Speaking after Liverpool's dramatic victory over West Ham United, Slot said:
"Two more wins and I think the first 32 games have shown us not only for us but for every team. I repeat, every team in the Premier League to win a game of football.

"So, the competition has never been as strong as it is this season and that's what makes it so hard to win a game of football. So everybody can say you have to win two yeah [the title is close] but we still have to win two so we should be completely focused on that."
Slot plans are therefore clear. His goal is to win the next two games for Liverpool which if successful could open up a dream scenario for Nyoni.
Lifting the Premier League with so many games to spare is a rarity. It doesn't happen often.
The last time this happened was during a Covid-19 stricken campaign in the 2019/20 season when Liverpool ran away with the league title.
Back then, Jurgen Klopp used those remaining matches to integrate some of Liverpool's brightest young talents into the first team.
Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott were two people to benefit from Liverpool's early season victory.
Jones got his first Premier League start and scored his first league goal during the final few games of the season. Elliott meanwhile made his senior debut for the Reds in the league.
This time around, if Slot decides to do the same thing, Nyoni will be the first in line.
The teenager was the stand-out player in pre-season for Liverpool, scoring at Anfield in a friendly against Real Betis.
He's earned limited minutes since but he deserves Slot to make his dream move come true and come into the first team for the last four games.
No opportunity is handed to you at Liverpool. Slot made that clear but Nyoni has earned it. He's been dominating at U21 level and he's shown his quality every time Slot sent him on the pitch for the first team.
From an assist against Accrington in the FA Cup to a solid performance in the Champions League and in the EFL Cup against Brighton.
He's very much a Slot type of player having misplaced just 11 passes from his 124 attempts in the first team this season, averaging a 92% pass completion rate.
Seven of those passes per 90 minutes have been to the opposition's final third, and two per 90 minutes have entered the opposition's penalty area.
Nyoni deserves an opportunity more than anyone and it would be an even more special, dream come true moment for Nyoni because if he is involved in these games, it could mean receiving a Premier League medal.
While as a player you're only guaranteed one if you've played five league games, the Premier League hands out 40 medals that are distributed between the coaching staff and the players.
Last time when Liverpool won the league this saw Harvey Elliott being given a medal even though he only made two appearances.
If Nyoni is given an opportunity he would then be able to follow in Elliott's footsteps at 17-years-old become a Premier League champion.
Slot hasn't been too willing to give young players a chance but he does seem to appreciate Nyoni, who has been permanently training with the first team this season and has made five first team appearances already this season.

With nothing at stake in Liverpool's last few games, the Dutchman will surely look towards the future of which Nyoni is a great part of and unleash one of the most exciting young prospects at the club.
