Liverpool striker Oakley Cannonier has agreed a new long-term contract with the club, rewarding the exceptional progress being made by the youngster at Academy level.
Cannonier scored 41 goals in all competitions last season, predominantly representing Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's under-18s side. The 18-year-old has since made the jump up to Barry Lewtas' under-21s group for the current season, having proven his quality was a cut above the lower age category.
Although not involved in the Reds' pre-season tour of the Far East this summer, despite the likes of fellow U18s stars of last season Melkamu Frauendorf and Stefan Bajcetic travelling with the team, the teenager trained with the first-team ahead of Liverpool's penultimate home fixture of last season against Tottenham Hotspur.
