Liverpool have made the smartest moves in the transfer market when it comes to selling their young players, according to new research.
The Reds Academy has long been a conveyor belt of talent, first from Melwood and now with the young guns in the same place as the first team at the £50m AXA Training Centre in Kirkby.
Of course, not all players can make the breakthrough to the first team in the way that the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold has, and for the machine to keep working well there has to be a clear pathway, one that either delivers for the club with the players being able to join the first team group or with them moving on to the financial benefit of the club.
