Liverpool are already looking like genuine contenders for some of football’s biggest trophies under their new head coach, and former academy players make up a big part of the Dutchman’s squad.

Vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold as well as Curtis Jones, Conor Bradley, Jarell Quansah, Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton are all part of the Reds’ senior squad and all of them graduated from Liverpool’s academy.

The future of the academy is looking very bright too, with a number of very highly rated prospects on the books.

One of these top talents has even been signed to one of the world’s most prestigious player agencies.

Joe Bradshaw joins CAA Base agency

Joe Bradshaw, a first-year scholar in Liverpool’s academy recently announced he had signed with CAA Base on his Instagram story.

The agency are one of the biggest in world football, and their client list includes some of the sport’s biggest names like Cole Palmer, James Maddison Eberechi Eze and Carlo Ancelotti.

Several of Bradshaw’s Liverpool teammates are also represented by the agency including James McConnell, James Balagizi, Isaac Mabaya, Kieran Morrison and Jarell Quansah.

The 16-year-old is predominantly a right-winger although he is capable of being deployed across the front line and he has scored three goals and provided one assist in nine U18 Premier League appearances this campaign.

It is very early days for the youngster, but he will certainly be in good company at his new agency.

A number of Liverpool’s academy players are currently on the periphery of the senior squad, with Rio Ngumoha, Trey Nyoni and Jayden Danns all training with the first team recently, and it may not be too long before Kopites are seeing Bradshaw’s name on the team sheet at Anfield.
