Ahead of Liverpool's final Premier League fixture before the World Cup break against Southampton, one name in particular stood out on the substitutes' bench.
Indeed, just three days after making his first-team debut against Derby County in the third round of the Carabao Cup, Ben Doak was back at Anfield under the instruction of Jurgen Klopp. Despite failing to feature against the Saints, this marked another impressive step being taken by the teenager.
Since signing from Celtic for £600,000 in the summer, Doak has enjoyed gradual progression from the under-18s side to the under-21s and saw his major progress rewarded in the form of a first professional contract on Monday. Recent reports have even suggested Nottingham Forest are taking an interest in the Scottish star, weighing up the possibility of a loan move.
