Liverpool's 'car clause' explained as youngsters limited in what they can drive to training

Liverpool academy manager Alex Inglethorpe has expressed his worries surrounding pressure of players coming through the ranks at the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby.

The 51-year-old also detailed the mentality from the club surrounding players on the fringes of breaking into the first-team driving expensive cars, expressing the need to "earn it". Liverpool's academy is widely regarded as one of the best in the country and throughout the years has nurtured the rise of Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and more recently, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones.

With access provided by football clubs and individual social media platforms, fans can catch a glimpse of the next star to walk out at Anfield throughout their time with the U18s and U21s. But with their quality also comes responsibility, Inglethorpe reiterates on the We Are Liverpool podcast.
