Trey Nyoni has been nothing short of a revelation for Liverpool since signing from Leicester City last summer.
The 17-year-old has looked outstanding when given the opportunity for the Reds, impressing highly in pre-season and bossing it for both the Under-21’s and Under 19’s.
It is clear that the young England starlet has a bright future and Arne Slot will be eager to hold onto him.

Nyoni captains the Reds
Incredibly, the midfielder was awarded with the captaincy role for the Reds' game against AC Milan.
The Reds U19 squad kicked off their European campaign on Tuesday, facing AC Milan. This was the young team's first game this season in the group stages.
Last season, the junior Liverpool side dominated their group, only losing one game out of the six and winning the rest. However, they were knocked out at the quarter-final stages at the hands of Sporting Lisbon U19’s.

Nyoni led out his side at the Vismara Sports Center in Milan for a game which finished in a scoreless draw.
Also present in Barry Lewtas' lineup were Kieran Morrison, Amara Nallo and Trent Kone-Doherty.
Goalkeeper Kornel Miscuir was solid between the sticks for the Reds while Morrison was the standout among the visitors' outfield players.
Summer sensation Rio Ngumoha was introduced from the bench for the final 20 minutes, watched on by Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes.
However it was the Rossoneri who went closest to scoring with Zlatan Ibrahimovic's son, Maximilian, featuring prominently in attack.
