Liverpool wonderkid now doing everything to be ready for the first team IMMINENTLY

When you begin to think about what Liverpool's team might look like when the 2025/26 season rolls around, you can't help but get goosebumps.

That is because all the reports so far have suggested that the club is set for a summer transfer window filled to the brim with change, be it players leaving for pastures new, or fresh arrivals getting used to their new surroundings on Merseyside.

The team has performed extraordinarily well in Arne Slot's first season as the Reds' head coach, as the Dutchman is now on the precipice of becoming one of the few managers in Premier League history to win it in their maiden campaign.

However, plenty of players have underperformed, making the campaign slightly more stress than it otherwise needed to have been.

Furthermore, Slot is yet to receive any real financial backing at the club, so a spending spree is forecast.

But regardless of how much money is spent, there is one Liverpool player who is keen to break his way into the first-team permanently next season and his preseason training has already begun.

Danns targets summer return after recent Sunderland injury

There are some Liverpool players who get lucky, and are able to slide their way into the first team straight away, whereas most others have a slightly more hard-fought route to follow.

In the case of Jayden Danns, a 19-year-old striker prodigy, he was sent on loan during the winter, despite delivering impressive performances when Slot gave him a chance.

Liverpool's target man options were already particularly stacked, so when presented with the opportunity to join Championship promotion-hunters Sunderland, the Englishman jumped at the chance.

However, his back issues have meant he has barely been able to make an impact, and it has now been confirmed that his season is over as he requires treatment and physio, ruling him out for the end of the season.

In James Pearce's latest column for The Athletic, the news was confirmed.

The Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris said: "He won't play with us this season. It is definitive now."

From an objective standpoint, that's a pretty killer blow for Danns as he will now miss out on the Black Cats' promotion charge, that could have provided the perfect platform for him to showcase his talents.

However, the young strikers ambition has always been to play for Liverpool and the best way for him to do that is to impress during pre-season.

As such, he will now have a head start on everyone else now that the prospect of featuring again this season has been closed off.

Anfield Watch understands that both Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez could potentially be moved on from the Reds this summer as part of an attempt to revamp the forward line.

What better an opportunity for Danns to take and become one of Slot's main attacking options next season?
