Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool has been known for developing young and promising players. This trend is likely to continue when Arne Slot takes over.
Liverpool played against Tottenham at Anfield this weekend, but the game wasn’t super important for them. Virgil van Dijk wanted the team to play better to get ready for next season. However, Tottenham needed the win more, even though they didn’t get it.
Earlier in the day, there was a game involving Liverpool that was more important. They’re playing in a special tournament for under-21 teams, which is new this season. Liverpool was losing 2-0 against Crystal Palace, but they came back and won, keeping their chances of winning the tournament alive.
A key player in the win at Kirkby was Kaide Gordon, who Arne Slot should consider giving more chances to play with the senior team next season. Gordon, who won’t turn 20 until October, used to play for Derby County and was really impressive.

Kaide Gordon scored two goals, one of them was an amazing shot from outside the penalty area using his left foot. He also helped set up Trey Nyoni’s goal. Gordon was the team captain, and this game was his best one yet since coming back from a long injury.

Gordon has been sidelined for 19 months with a pelvic issue. He has now played 12 full 90-minute games in a row at the under-21 level. This season, he has also appeared for the senior team, but his main focus has been regaining fitness with the younger teams.
But before the summer, Gordon has a great opportunity to impress. Among all the young talents Liverpool has, he’s considered one of the most promising. Gordon, along with Ben Doak, Jayden Danns, and Bobby Clark, are all hoping to take the next step soon and catch the attention of Slot.
