The club has an entire system of young players, each playing at different age ranges, slowly developing into senior professional footballers.

Over the years, Liverpool haven't been shy with utilising the resources available at their disposal.

Currently in the men's first-team setup, the Reds have Jarell Quansah, Curtis Jones, Conor Bradley, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Coaihmin Kelleher, who each made their way through the system.

Those knocking on the door with their performances recently include Jayden Danns, Tyler Morton James McConnnell, Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha.

Liverpool will always look to bring in players via the transfer market, but sometimes the profile they need can actually be found from within their ranks already.

As Alexander-Arnold looks to be heading out the door, a new face could soon take his place.

Sonni-Lambie impresses in Liverpool defeat to Sunderland

It is particularly rare for a player with a hyphenated surname to play for the Reds, but just as Trent is set to leave, we might be about to see the arrival of Joshua Sonni-Lambie.

The young 17-year-old centre-forward managed to get himself on the scoresheet for Liverpool's under-18s team this afternoon, helping the team to save face a little after conceding six goals to Sunderland.

Across the season so far, he has registered seven goals and three assists in 21 appearances, standing out as one of the club's brightest prospects.

Liverpool's first team, managed by Arne Slot, has seen the striker role significantly underperform, with a whole host of players being assessed in an attempt to reinvigorate the position.

Of course, it will undoubtedly be premature for the opportunity to be offered to Sonni-Lambie. After all, he is still at the very precipice of his career in the sport.

The trials and tribulations of the Premier League and the Champions League would be too much of an ask of the Englishman, but going into the club's preseason campaign, Slot will have a few things to consider.

Danns will be looking to nail down the position of first-reserve striker, earning himself minutes in the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup, but if Sonni-Lambie continues to perform, then he could make a compelling case for Slot to reconsider.
